Session: Accessibility is a design and UX responsibility: How to run an Accessibility workshop
Designing for Accessibility requires due diligence, optimizing for edge cases, and deeply understanding all the ways all people need the product to serve them.In this presentation/talk with industry veteran and Strategy Director Jess Vice, we’ll learn step by step how creatives can design a targeted and interactive accessibility workshop for their clients, and build.
As we learn how to better understand what others are experiencing, we begin to develop awareness and empathy, which can be designed to input directly into user experience.
Key Takeaways
- How designers can level up our ability to be inclusive, create accessible work by using tools that solve new-to-us problems
- How to build an interactive workshop including using assistive tech (like voice to text), and other platforms to elevate the accessibility of the things we create.
- Designing for averages is an exclusive and privileged approach. –When we use the extremes to shape the problem we’re solving for, we often catch most of the middle in the process.
- creatives can build an interactive workshop including using assistive tech (like voice to text), and other platforms to elevate the accessibility of the things we create.
Bio
I love people. I am curious and always excited to understand what drives people.I offer qualitative and quantitative research, generally with software/product/SaaS users. I’m particularly good at making meaning from the research and providing teams with data-driven recommendations for what they should do/build next (product strategy, short and long-term).
I am also intensely aware that my first point of contact is always the internal teams I work with -- if we don’t have a relationship built on trust, I won't be a successful user researcher.
I’ve been working in CRO, marketing, SaaS, and product for over 12 years and am consistently thrilled with how much more there is to learn. I write and speak about what I’m learning.
