Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Clark is a co-founder and creative technologist with nearly two decades of experience designing inclusive access technologies and leading interdisciplinary teams in research, non-profit, and community settings. He combines hands-on engineering—haptics, AI computer vision, motion tracking, embedded systems, and web-based audio/video synthesis—with participatory, community-led design methods that prioritize ownership and accessibility. Colin has architected large-scale assistive systems, scaled open-source accessibility frameworks, and led CIFAR-funded initiatives that bridge data governance, AI, and disability justice. He has a track record of turning grant-funded research into practical tools (like Weavly and the Community-Led Co-Design Kit) and collaborates deeply with disability arts organizations to prototype expressive new interfaces. Based in Ontario, Canada, he’s notable for blending studio art training (MFA) with rigorous software architecture to make technology that is both technically robust and socially accountable.
