UX Antwerp Meetup, 30th of January, 2018 - organised by UXprobe https://www.uxpro.be/ Lyssa Verbessem, UX designer at Emakina (Brussels, Belgium) "The web through the eyes of disabled individuals" What is it like to use the web with a disability? What types of disabilities are there? How can we design inclusively? These questions are rarely asked or considered when the design process begins. And even when they are addressed, it’s difficult to understand the perspective of a disabled person. This talk will take a look at the numerous variations of disabilities and how we can start to understand them in design. Lyssa is a creative and spirited greenhorn in the UX field, currently employed by Emakina with a background in product design. She has a special eye for accessibility due to having lived for most of her life with a disability. The combination of her passion for design, technology, research and the obstacles that a disabled person faces in today's world has made her into the UX designer she is today.
