2022-12-20 A designer’s guide to documenting accessibility & user interactions (ONLINE)

Hosted by CapCHICapCHI December 2022 event image

This is a special edition of CAPCHI, where we will be online for a lunch and learn for December. It will be 1.5 hours to allow for questions.

Accessibility is unfortunately still an afterthought on many projects. User interaction and accessibility requirements are poorly documented, at best. Or forgotten, when handing over designs to developer teams. Why fix it later, when you could do it right to start with? Why, What and How designers can document different aspects of accessibility and user interactions requirements to build better, more inclusive products from the start.

Stéphanie Walter (she/her) is a User Researcher and Designer who focuses on building user-centered, inclusive and accessible products and services. She spent the last 12+ years helping her clients deliver successful projects in different industries (banking, financial, automotive, healthcare, press, travel, etc.)

She likes to share her passion for her UX work all around the world. She has taken this beyond her successful blog, conferences and workshops. She discusses a wide range of topics, including mobile UX, enterprise UX, cognitive biases, inclusive design, design process and designer – developer relationship. You can follow her on social media for qualitative curated UX design content.
