    [00:00:20] We will start by breaking down what accessibility means and what is not.

    [00:00:25] There's a lot of confusion out there, so we'll bust a few myths along the way.

    [00:00:28] Then we'll explore the difference between accessibility and inclusive design

    [00:00:32] and how the two work together to create a better experience for everyone.

    [00:00:36] Next, I'll walk you through how to design accessible right inside your design tools.

    [00:00:41] With practical tips that you can use, right insde Figma, including colour, contrast, structure, typography, and more.

    [00:00:49] We will also look at writing for accessibility. Making sure your copy and micro copy, are clear, useful, and usable.

    [00:00:56] Then we're go into how to test for accessibility.

    [00:00:59] Even if you're not an engineer, I'll share some tools and methods that will fit nicely into your existing workflow.

    [00:01:10] Whether you are a solo designer or part of a big corporation,

    [00:01:14] that means using data storytelling. And your design voice to bring others on board
