Designing for accessibility
Accessibility isn’t a checkbox—it’s a mindset. Every design decision should consider how it serves people with diverse abilities, situations, and contexts.
I start with inclusive defaults: high contrast, clear typography, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility. These aren’t special features—they’re basic requirements.
Accessibility improves experiences for everyone. Clear labels help distracted users. Keyboard shortcuts benefit power users. Simple language aids non-native speakers.
The most accessible designs are often the most elegant. They strip away assumptions and focus on universal human needs.
Accessibility isn’t about lowering standards—it’s about raising them for everyone. Design for the edges, and the center will take care of itself.
