Welcome to the “UX Design in the Deep End” podcast, this is Chuck LoCascio.

One of the reasons why I’ve been successful in UX design is being able to dive deep
into complex subjects. These conversations go deep. With this podcast one of my goals
is to explore new depths in conversations with inspirational UX Designers in the field.

Today we are here to talk about Accessibility in UX Design. This is our first podcast
episode and what a great topic to start with. I’d like to begin by saying that accessible
design makes for better design. It is more inclusive, good for business and is much
more usable for very large sets of people.

More often than not, when speaking to other designers on this topic, I’ll usually hear
something like, “The fonts and colors pass accessibility.” Although this is a great start,
there is a whole world here that goes far beyond that.

Today, I am excited to introduce Kyle Esguerra. Kyle is a Product/UX Designer at
iShares by BlackRock coming up on 4 years in September? I see on your linkedin
profile subline you have your title as UX / Product Design & Accessibility? Very cool, I
like that beard by the way! So I have had the good fortune of working with you at
iShares, and man did we have some good days in the office partnering together, solving
UX challenges for the end user, and delivering on accessibility.
