For our very first episode, we talk with Reginé Gilbert. She is a designer, educator, and author of the book Inclusive Design for a Digital World: Designing with Accessibility in Mind. We discuss how accessibility is more than a matter of legal compliance, how accessible design serves everyone in the long run, and how designers can get started with accessibility even in the student phase of their careers. There may even be a little bit of raging against autoplay.
