Accessibility @ Scale (Droidcon UK 2017)

Updated Presentation for Droidcon UK 2017

Accessibility often isn’t a priority for companies as they grow, but if you don’t invest in it early it can become a knotty problem. In this talk I will discuss breaking down a complex Android application to find low-hanging fixes as well as prioritizing larger improvements and investing in accessibility in the future. We will discuss my experience growing grassroots support for accessibility improvements at Pinterest and both the moral and business value of improving it.
