Building Empathy and Accessible Apps by Isabela Moreira

Everyone knows accessibility is important, but even with the best of intentions, we still might not be achieving an accessible design in our apps. In this talk, I'll help the audience build their empathy for disabled users through the eyes of someone in the disabled community (myself), while giving them the tools they need to tackle accessibility both from a design and implementation standpoint. https://jsconfbp.com/speakers/isabela-moreira Isabela is a software engineer at Microsoft, building a design system and component library to bring coherence to internal products.
