Accessibility isn’t a favor. It’s not about being benevolent.
And it’s definitely not just for a few.
It’s about ability and that changes all the time.
Break an arm? Lose your glasses? Struggling with a new language? Suddenly, the world isn’t built for you.
Blinded by the sun? Exhausted? Having a killer headache? Suddenly, even the simplest tasks feel impossible.
Let’s face it: the chances of you staying fully able-bodied your entire life are extremely low, if not nonexistent.
That’s why it makes more sense to think of everyone as temporarily able-bodied.
Accessibility isn’t special treatment.
It’s just making things better for everyone because we all benefit from subtitles, automatic doors, and easy-to-read instructions. As simple as that.
So, why do we still treat accessibility like a bureaucratic checklist to verify at the end of the project?
It’s time to change that and I’m all in. I want to create experiences where everyone feels welcome, capable, and comfortable.
