Design tokens for Accessibility? Design tokens are like building blocks for design systems, holding all design decisions for making a digital experience accessible — or not! They help ensure that digital experiences are flexible and accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Imagine being able to adjust your site’s colors, fonts, reading comfort and layout with just a few tweaks to accommodate everyone’s needs — no overlays! That’s the power of design tokens! Mark Zebley and I are diving deep into this at the #CSUN Assistive Tech Conference with a session on “Design Tokens for Equitable Data Representation”. This session is for anyone curious about making tech more inclusive. Whether you’re a coder, a designer, or just someone who loves seeing technology evolve to be more humane, you’re going to get something out of this. Let’s explore together how small changes can make a big impact and ensure that our digital future is bright and accessible for all. #Accessibility #DesignTokens #ux #frontend #CSUNATC24

Reflecting on the Power of Creative Freedom As we mark the 78th Independence Day, it’s an opportunity to not only celebrate our nation’s freedom but also to reflect on what freedom means in our professional lives as UX designers. For us, independence symbolizes the power to innovate, to craft user experiences that make a difference, and to push the boundaries of creativity. In UX design, freedom is the ability to explore new ideas, to challenge conventional thinking, and to create solutions that truly resonate with users. Just as our nation fought for its independence, we continuously work to free our users from frustration and inefficiency. Our role allows us to design with empathy, ensuring that our work is inclusive, accessible, and empowering for all. This Independence Day, let’s appreciate the creative freedom we have as designers to shape meaningful and impactful user experiences. Let’s continue to design with purpose, honoring the trust our users place in us by crafting solutions that make their lives better. Wishing everyone a Happy 78th Independence Day! Let’s continue to design a brighter future together. #IndependenceDay #UXDesign #CreativeFreedom #Innovation #UserExperience

🔍 **Accessibility-First Design: Prioritizing Inclusivity in UX** 🌍 In 2024, accessibility-first design is not just a trend—it's a fundamental shift towards creating digital experiences that are inclusive for everyone. By prioritizing accessibility, designers ensure that digital products are usable by people of all abilities, including those with disabilities. Accessibility-first design focuses on enhancing readability, improving color contrast, optimizing navigation, and ensuring that all users, regardless of their needs, can interact with digital products effortlessly. This approach is not only about compliance but about empathy, creating equitable digital spaces where everyone can participate. As designers, embracing accessibility from the outset leads to better, more inclusive products that reflect the diverse needs of all users. #Accessibility #UXDesign #InclusiveDesign #DigitalInclusion #UserExperience #UI #DesignForAll #EmpathyInDesign
