Dealing with accessibility and Design Systems can be overwhelming and costly. 

That's why we've developed a new workshop where we'll teach you how to build accessible design systems and components from the ground up

We’re proud to host Creating Accessible Design Systems - a two day workshop on September 9 and 10 – Online  

Hosted by Marcelo Paiva, the creator of the WCAG plugin for Figma and Sarah Massengale, a blind technologist, who will give participants firsthand insights into the challenges and solutions for designing experiences with accessibility in mind.

 

Over the course of two days, we’ll cover the fundamentals and advanced techniques of accessible design, ensuring that product owners, user researchers, and product designers can plan, architect and design high-quality systems that are usable by everyone.


What you will learn:
🔹 Define accessible user stories and acceptance criteria
🔹 Design accessible components and experiences
🔹 Conduct user research with participants with disabilities
🔹 Create accessible prototypes and test them with screen reader users
🔹 Collaborate and hand-off accessible components with developers
🔹 Leverage design tokens for accessibility

He/Him

As a freelance Design System Lead and Consultant, I’ve supported companies like adidas, Philips, and Ableton with their Design Systems. I understand the challenges that come with being a team of one or part of a small Design Systems team, I have been there.

That’s why I founded Into Design Systems, to connect with like-minded professionals and learn from experts together. Today, professionals from all over the world come together to learn about Design Systems which makes me so happy!

My goal is to create inclusive, introvert-friendly events where you feel welcome and safe to learn. As a neurodivergent and introverted person myself, I know the struggles that come with conferences and educational settings. That’s why I’ve designed this conference so that everyone can participate in a way that works for them.

I learn best through examples, demos, and hands-on instructions rather than long presentations full of slides. You’ll find many of these practical elements in our conference.
