Solve for one, extend to many: Inclusive Devices, Accessories, and Augmentations
It’s crucial for everyone to feel a sense of belonging when interacting with our products. That’s why inclusive design must be an ongoing part of our process. Disability isn’t merely a personal health condition; it’s a mismatch between our products and how users seek to interact with them. Designing with inclusivity in mind benefits not only those with permanent disabilities but also those with temporary or situational limitations. In some cases, inclusive designs go on to become an integral part of daily life.
In this discussion, we’ll explore inclusive designs that have transcended disability boundaries, innovative devices reshaping our interactions with computers, and perhaps even showcase a live demo

As a lifecycle marketer for Microsoft Clipchamp video editor, a qualified life scientist, an engaging content creator, a JavaScript dabbler, and a passionate advocate for others, I’m on a mission to make generalists cool again.
I thrive on thinking outside the box and experimenting with new ideas, which allows me to share valuable knowledge with others, so they may be inspired and excel. My goal is to always leave a positive impact on everyone I encounter.
I’ve had the privilege of mentoring “future thinkers” through ABCN, served as Vice President of a kindergarten, and I care deeply about the next generation.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me creating content, playing games, or striking up conversations with random people—I firmly believe that everyone has a story to tell.
