Blair Mishleau is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago. He pursued an interdisciplinary major between Journalism and Interactive Arts + Media, with a minor in American Sign Language.


This project was put together to tie in all of his focuses: interviewing and editing skills and journalist integrity; web design and coding proficiency; and fluency in American Sign Language both receptively and expressively.


Thanks are due to Barbara Iverson, a journalism professor at Columbia; Joanna Aloysia Patterson, who took the handshape photos; and Steve Saenz, who tirelessly interpreted many of the videos on the site. Thanks also to the interview subjects, without them the site would not exist.
