We made over 151,000 calls to senior citizens in Texas tonight. One of our vols talked to a man stranded at home w/out power in Killeen, hadn’t eaten in 2 days, got him a ride to a warming center and a hot meal. Help us reach more people, join us tomorrow: act.betoorourke.com/event/we…
The #a11y website is redesigned and rebuilt, and I 🧡 it! They truly pushed the limits of accessible design while focusing on #usability and clarity of content. @A11YProject

Your experience is not universal. Billions of people live with backgrounds, insights, & perspectives you don't know and can't understand unless you include them in your work. Seek out differences in cultural perspectives to ensure your #ux & #design is as #inclusive as possible.

Insight on creating #empathy maps via @just_in_mind Whether it’s creating a new website or product, if you don’t design with empathy, there’s a risk that your product will not meet your user’s needs, and this will result in a product that fails. justinmind.com/blog/empathy-…
Valuable insight shared at yesterday’s live webinar via @InVisionApp @ryanrumsey - I will definitely be bringing this new perspective into my everyday. Looking forward to diving into the ebook.

My first-ever speaking engagement is at @UXCopenhagen in March, so I don't have much to show in terms of live speaking examples at the moment. You can get an idea of my style with my shorter videos, like this one on UX design and accessibility. youtu.be/TD9W9Ekc3Hg

How do you design for accessibility on touchscreens? And if you have a disability, what's the hardest part about interacting with touch devices?
Thanks!

"We should be designing WITH people with disabilities, not FOR people with disabilities. Note the use of the word people — that’s plural. Not just one person with a disability. People."
Such a great and digestible read from @feather buff.ly/31vpNo1
