Alex Norman

Founder & CEOAccess Built

Alex Norman is Founder and CEO of Access Built, a human-centered inclusive design and technology firm helping organizations identify and remove hidden friction points in the built environment that limit participation for people of all abilities. His work brings together lived experience, universal design, accessibility strategy, and data-driven insights to help clients move beyond compliance toward environments that are more usable, equitable, and future-ready. Alex is the author of Boundless: Real Stories and Practical Strategies for Inclusive Living and the creator of Access Built’s Friction Point™ Method. His work also explores how neurodiversity and cognitive and sensory needs shape people’s experience of spaces, including how they navigate, process information, and respond when environments become stressful. Through Access Built, he is developing emerging technology tools that help organizations better understand accessibility, sensory, and operational barriers across civic, nonprofit, residential, hospitality, and venue environments.
