Session: What if you broke your arm while skiing: How to leverage inclusive design to improve your product for everyone
Inclusive design is so much more than designing for people with a disability. A person using a product with only one arm can have the same needs as a permanent injury, a temporary condition, to a new parent who only has one arm free while nursing a newborn. We can’t always predict who will use our products, or what emotional state they’ll be in when they do. But we have the power and responsibility to build compassion into every aspect of product experiences so millions of humans feel supported. Raman will share principles and practical approaches on how we can create different ways for humans to participate in an experience.Key Takeaways
- Understand why we should design by starting with those who are excluded the most.
- Discover how the biggest brands and businesses are losing users and revenue by getting accessibility wrong.
- Learn how to apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and tools to build an accessible product.
