Accessibility & Inclusive Design

Accessibility means making things people can use no matter how they see, hear, move, or read. Inclusive design starts at the beginning — you plan for many kinds of users from the first sketch, not as an add-on at the end. When tech is accessible, more people can join in. That is fair, kind, and smart design.
