Inclusive Design Principles / Henny Swan #id24 2021

The Inclusive Design Principles were launched at #id24 in 2017. Since then they have helped teams put inclusion at the heart of their design process. This talk goes over how the principles came about, how they can be used alongside WCAG, and how they can be used by designers, user experience professionals, developers, and product owners. We’ll also look at examples of each of the principles and how support a diverse audience of people with permanent, temporary, situational, or changing disabilities – all of us really. About the speaker Henny is a Director at TetraLogical and a user experience and digital accessibility specialist with almost 20 years’ experience. Formerly at the BBC, The Paciello Group, Opera Software and RNIB Henny is in her element working with multi-disciplinary teams to help infuse inclusion in each step in the Software Development Lifecyle. This could be by working on a product from its conception all the way through to completion factoring user research with disabled users, early concept, documentation and design reviews, as well as agile usability testing as the product goes to development. By doing this Henny empowers teams to integrate inclusion into their own process so they can confidently and consistently deliver accessible and inclusive products. https://inclusivedesign24.org/2021/
