Accessibility has long been an engineering driven industry and mainly an after thought or add-on in so many products, but now it’s time for designers to own accessible design as a practice and mindset. Designing for accessibility drives innovation in many diverse sectors including automotive, architecture and education. Designing for accessibility can and should drive innovation in digital products. During this talk you will learn from a Facebook Accessibility design lead everything you need to know about accessible design. What does it mean to design for accessibility? What tools and processes are needed to support accessible design? How do we measure the impact of accessible design?
