Building an Accessibility Culture, One Step at a Time (Leeds)

Accessibility is an interesting part of building a project. Arguably easy in some areas, and incredibly difficult in others. Touching product, design, engineering and testing. Everyone can play their part — or not. From dealing with not knowing what you don’t know, to organizational buy-in, to having enormous impact on your users. In this presentation I want to share how we (started) overcoming these challenges at WeTransfer, from iOS to web, and how we’re seeing that path ahead.
