Sunderland Digital aims to bring together and enrich our burgeoning digital and creative community through a series of informal monthly meetups and talks.

Empathy in Accessibility

Join us in August when we welcome Craig Abbott, Senior Interaction Designer at DWP Digital to Sunderland Digital once again!

As an interaction designer working on digital services in government, accessibility is the priority in Craig’s work.

In his talk ‘Empathy in Accessibility’, Craig will talk us through building empathy for users with impairments, making sure we are aware of how to design services that don’t disable people.

He’ll be giving us examples of things that have tripped him up in the past as well as suggesting tools we can use to help us test our designs.
