Title: Why We Need More Accessibility Designers
Presenter: Anna E. Cook (she/her or they/them)
Date/Time: December 15th, 12PM (ET)

Description:
Many accessibility defects originate in design, so why do the bulk of accessibility considerations fall to developers and quality assurance? In this talk, we will discuss why we need more accessibility designers, what it means to be an accessibility designer, and the day-to-day responsibilities of an accessibility designer. Learn how you can advocate to create accessibility designer roles and begin to train yourself to specialize in accessibility as a designer.
