Braille Adventures

After a busy month of content creating, I am giving myself a break.

I will not be checking social media for all of February.

I look forward to catching up when I get back.

And if you need to get a hold of me, feel free to call or email.

Braille Adventures

To recap the last decade, I was/am endlessly curious about all things braille.

My love for braille began in 2008. I came across picture books in braille with raised images. I was working on my BFA for interactive art and this art form called my name!!

2026 - Who knows where I will end up next? (🤞for France!)

Thanks for joining me for this adventure!

2016 - I lived and worked in Yosemite. Photo of Elizabeth with short brown hair with a snow capped Half Dome in the background.

2017 - My mom and I visited one of my cousins in Taiwan. Photo of the three of us standing next to a lion statue.

2018 - I enrolled in the NLS literary braille transcribing course. I founded the UEB Study Group, a virtual study hall for NLS students. Screenshot of the UEB Study Group’s banner on Facebook.

2019 - I earned my national braille transcribing certification. I set up my YouTube channel, Braille Adventures. Photo of Elizabeth with a giant smile holding her manuscript.

2020 - I hosted a holiday braille card swap. Photo of a card that has a collage style tactile graphic of a mug with braille that says, warm holiday wishes.

2021 - I collaborated with Dan Gergen, from Volunteer Braille Services, to create a supplemental study guide for the NLS literary course. I proofread over 450 pages in print and SimBraille. Screenshots of the study guides.

2022 - I enrolled for graduate school at San Francisco State. I attended Philippa Campsie’s presentation at ICEB about Charles Barbier. She inspired me to visit Louis Braille’s house in France. Photo of Elizabeth outside of the museum in January 2024.

2023 - I adopted Graham, a brown tabby, who also love camping and hiking. I founded a braille production facility in California. Photo of Graham curled up like an upside down croissant.

2024 - I worked as a fire lookout! I earned my Masters in SPED and a Teacher of the Visually Impaired credential. Photo of a three story tall, metal fire lookout.

2025 - I visited France and Trinidad (both braille related trips!) Photo of Elizabeth standing next to a poster that says, Braille Revolution.

Today is museum selfie day!

Share a photo of yourself at one of your favorite museums. And add a picture description (or alt text) to make it accessible.

I have been fortunate to visit the Louis Braille museum several times. I always have perma grin when I am in Coupvray.

To plan your trip to the museum, check out their Wiki page. It describes how to get there from Paris, photos highlighting the collection and what else to experience in the village of Coupvray, like visiting Louis Braille’s grave.

Wikipedia page for the Louis Braille museum:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_Louis_Braille

Save this for later!

Does your TV remote have braille, so that you can use it independently?

Or does it have different shaped buttons for the high use functions?

What is your favorite show at the moment?

Close up of the remote and the words, p = power, v = volume, c = channel, along with arrows pointing to the braille on the remote.

For national Braille Literacy month, I am going to start reading Blind Rage, letters to Helen Keller by Georgina Kleege and the Blind in French society from the middle ages to the century of Louis Braille by Zina Weygand.

How about you? What are you reading?
