When Screens Watch Back: What AV Manufacturers Must Get Right About AI‑Enabled Digital Signage

Craig and Dr. Amy unpack why accessibility is more than compliance, how inclusive design benefits every learner, and where institutions often stumble in supporting faculty and students.
They also explore the promise and pitfalls of AI tools in accessibility, the importance of starting with intentional design instead of costly retrofits, and practical first steps colleges can take to embed accessibility across teaching, technology, and campus culture.
Looking ahead, Dr. Lomellini shares her vision of a future where accessibility is simply non-negotiable—seamlessly integrated into every aspect of education.
Whether you’re an educator, designer, or technology leader, this episode offers actionable insights on creating learning environments that work for everyone.

As an architect by training (BS Architecture, Cal Poly SLO) and a collaborative technologist with four decades of practice, I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of AV professionals at the intersection of technology, strategy, and leadership. I have been active in AVIXA since 1986 and served on the national board from 1993–2000. I am a Fellow of the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) and an Associate member of the American Institute of Architects.
I serve as Director of Digital Experience Design at Clark & Enersen, a 200-person interdisciplinary architecture and engineering firm, where I lead the planning and design of integrated audiovisual and digital experience environments for higher education, healthcare, and research clients.
In parallel, through my personal advisory practice at CraigPark.Company, I counsel AEC and technology organizations on business strategy, collaborative design and delivery, and growth leadership.
My expertise spans systems design, integrated building technology planning, and strategic business development. I bring an award-winning, B2B design-thinking approach developed through leadership roles with national AEC and technology firms.
Across both institutional and consulting roles, I have led marketing and growth strategy, designed future-ready learning and simulation environments, and helped organizations implement AI-powered tools that scale expertise and performance.
