Here are a couple of key takeaways we wanted to share:

On Designing for Accessibility

One of the most powerful insights was the idea that simplicity is key. Trying to add features for everyone can paradoxically make your interface or product less accessible. The best approach? Do less, but do it better. Simplicity provides an important pathway to improve accessibility.

Catch this and more insights from Heydon Pickering’s talk, The Folly of Chasing Demographics.

On Inclusive Co-Design

A common industry ethos is that Blind people are seen as recipients of design, not creators. Chancey Fleet is flipping that ehtos on its head! With an amazing mix of tactile design tools, Chancey has been bringing Blind designers together to co-create incredible outcomes. This shift is crucial for inclusive design, breaking barriers and rethinking what’s possible when sighted and Blind designers collaborate.

Catch the inspiring case study from Chancey and collaborator Lauren Race, Inclusive Methods for Co-design Between Blind and Sighted Designers.
