Designer, developer, accessibility advocate, occasional musician… you know, a creative type.
I strongly believe that accessibility is best served as a set of options the person in front of the screen can dial in for themselves. Turns out, that’s tricky when the person changes screens every other minute.

Is it really intuitive, human-centered design if you’re not baking in accessibility from the start? Which humans are you designing for exactly?

Sometimes I need to take a minute to "shake out my brain" before I can get started (or keep on keepin' on) with a project. Does anyone have a favorite micro activity they keep coming back to? I just tried making some more coffee using my left hand and barely avoided disaster.

Not knowing can be an advantage if you’re genuinely curious enough to figure things out anyway.

I have an interactive demo up to go along with the non-linear font scaling article I shared yesterday. Check out how drastically linearly scaled zoom can affect your intended layout.

Happy spooky season! I put together a music video for my song "How Would You Know?" with vintage (and public domain) clips from the 1937 classic "Skeleton Frolics." It felt right. Hope you enjoy!

Went too far in the pursuit of accessibility 😂 Turns out no matter how pure the intentions for hiding your decorative elements are, you still can’t stack “aria-hidden” and “tabindex=-1”

A Framework for Evaluating Browser Support • Josh W. Comeau

Recharging the creative juices at Glenstone in Baltimore last week - an autumn visit was THE move for the trails. The whole place reminded me of Crystal Bridges back home in all the best ways. I always leave places like this with a handful of new ideas and inspirations. Where do you go to refill?
