Accessibility: A Critical Core Competency for Your Design Toolkit (w/ Virginia Booth)
Show Notes

A conversation with Virginia Booth on accessibility. When most people hear the term "Accessibility" they think of handicap parking spots or wheelchair ramps. What doesn't often come to mind, though, is how some of these same concepts apply to the web.

In this introductory-level conversation, we'll talk about:

  • What is Web Accessibility?
  • Why is it important?
  • How you can start incorporating accessibility into your design process
  • Some resources where you can learn more

Virginia Booth is an Associate User Experience Director at CapTech Consulting in Charlotte. As a strategic-minded UX Architect, she’s passionate about creating accessible, easy-to-use, and delightful experiences for customers while still satisfying the business' objectives. She’s found over 100 four-leaf clovers, proving her keen eye for detail (oh yeah, and that she’s pretty lucky). Outside of the office, you’ll find her brewing beer with her husband or harassing their cats, Mudi and Flike.
