Why Take This Course?
Unless you’re a product designer living in a fantasy world (or blissfully stuck in the gold rush year of 2021), it’s likely you’re wearing more hats than you used to. So, in addition to working as the UX designer, you’re also now the UX writer, UX researcher, accessibility expert, custodian, and staff therapist. While she can’t help you with all of the above, Devon Persing can make a strong case for the five things every designer needs to consider on the accessibility front. They’re listed below, but for the full story, plan to join us for an hour of info on accessibility that will be, unsurprisingly, quite accessible.
