We get it. There’s nothing more frustrating than working your tail off to go to school and put together a blood-sweat-and-tear-stained portfolio only to receive rejections or get ghosted. Chances are the problem isn’t you and your portfolio. But it could be that you’re focusing too much on job postings and not enough on making your own opportunities. Join us and we’ll explain.
Making your website accessible isn’t just a nice thing to do. It’s also smart business.

Instructor: Greta Harding, Senior UX Designer, Google
Making websites and apps usable (and enjoyable) experiences for all types of consumers, whether their physical skills are limited or not, should be the goal of every project. It’s not only a legal requirement in many cases. It’s also a moral obligation and a smart usability practice. In this workshop, we’ll put the foundations of accessible design within reach of everyone. (Also available as a team training.)
