Speaking Engagements

Interventions Conference

Northeastern University’s student-led design studio, Scout

May 2020

For Interventions: Episodes, a web series in place of Scout’s annual design conference due to COVID-19, I was asked to speak about accessible design. During this presentation, I explained accessibility and why it’s important to consider throughout your process as a designer. I provided key guidelines, referencing WCAG 2.1, to improve design, as well as resources to analyze design work for accessibility compliance.

 

Balancing Accessibility + Aesthetics at Mathworks

AIGA Boston

February 2020

This event was about the requirements and challenges that designers face when designing for accessibility, while finding the right balance with aesthetics. I shared how MathWorks made product colors accessible with a case study about my work on MathWorks Visual Design Standards.
