Accessibility in your product

Testing with people with disabilities showed me how much contrast and keyboard shortcuts matter.

Designing with WCAG in my mind from the start improved accessibility across the board.

Adding screen reader support and text resizing made a huge difference for my users.

Captions and high contrast themes made my product more friendly for everyone.

I haven’t developed my own product yet, but I recently learned about a Figma plugin called Stark that lets you simulate how colorblind users perceive different UI design elements. It’s such an eye-opener for designers, encouraging us to think beyond just using color to convey meaning.

Color blindness issues taught me to use tools like Stark for inclusive design.
