Accessibility and Inclusive UX/UI

Accessibility and inclusive UX help explore how digital products can be designed for everyone, including diverse perspectives, marginalized communities, and those with disabilities. This topic helps designers build interfaces that are intuitive, understandable, inclusive, and perceivable, and align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This topic connects usability, empathy, and ethics to make sure that digital products support diverse users and their needs, rather than excluding them. My research guide includes newsletters, blogs, podcasts, and online sources.
