Award-winning designer and educator Irene Pereyra makes accessibility approachable with clear answers to the most pressing design questions in a Q&A format, accompanied by real-world case studies, practical tips, and inspiring analogies.
Structured around 12 core areas—typography, color & contrast, navigation & structure, interactions & animations, images & video, context, human factors, assistive technologies, team & process, testing, laws & regulations, and history—this guide helps designers anticipate challenges and design accessibly from the start.
