The Accessibility Wins Hiding in Your Design System
Web Platform·Talk (30 min)
Most accessibility work fails because it's bolted on per-feature. Fix it once, in the design system, and every product team inherits it for free. This talk shows the ten highest-leverage component fixes — focus management, touch targets, reduced motion, form errors — with before/after audits from a real design system used by forty teams.
