“Where Accessibility Lives” by Derek Featherstone—An Event Apart Denver 2017
You do your very best to make the things you design and build easy to use for everyone, including people with disabilities. The developer in you loves solving problems with code, automation, and a robust toolset. The designer in you craves exploration; you know that there’s more to accessibility than a checklist-based set of requirements. What’s the next step, then?
In this riveting presentation caught live at An Event Apart Denver 2017, Chief Experience Officer at Level Access Derek Featherstone shows how to take your work to a new level by integrating accessibility and inclusion into your existing design and development process. You’ll walk away with real-world examples of making accessibility live in your automation tools, style guides, pattern libraries, and design systems, ready to create a more accessible and inclusive web.
Derek Featherstone has been working as a web professional since 1999 and is an internationally known speaker and authority on accessibility and web design. Before moving to Level Access, he co-founded and for many years led the team at Simply Accessible, based in Ottawa, Canada.

Clients, stakeholders, and users all want “obvious,” easy-to-use designs that help them achieve their goals. But making obvious interfaces isn’t as obvious as it seems, especially when many stakeholders and users are involved. In this in-depth walkthrough of a major redesign, captured live at An Event Apart Denver 2017, Google Product Director Luke Wroblewski takes you behind the scenes to explore the thinking, processes, and iterations that go into an “obvious” design change.
Luke is a web, mobile, and product designer, and the author of three popular Web design books (Mobile First, Web Form Design, and Site-Seeing: A Visual Approach to Web Usability) in addition to many articles about digital product design and strategy. Prior to joining Google as Product Director, he was the CEO and co-founder of Polar, the Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Bagcheck, and an Entrepreneur in Residence at Benchmark Capital.
Luke has been the Chief Design Architect (VP) at Yahoo!, Lead User Interface Designer at eBay, and a Senior Interface Designer at NCSA: the birthplace of the first popular graphical Web browser, NCSA Mosaic.
