WordCamp Talk: Life-Changing Design and Development

Check out my talk from WordCamp Kansas City on June 28, 2019. I’d love to know what you think!

Synopsis:
In this talk, we’ll discuss how our decisions as designers and developers affect people’s lives, as well as practical ways our daily work can actually change the lives of others for good. If we really believe that WordPress is about democratizing publishing — empowering anyone to share their voice with the world — then our work must always reflect that value. This means that our creations must be accessible to those with differing levels of physical abilities, as well as those with differing levels of experience and those who speak other languages. Citing real-life examples, we’ll learn to think differently about building WordPress and look at practical ways to implement this in our daily work.
