Last week I had the pleasure of attending my first Rotary Club meeting. I was absolutely blown away by their guest speaker Valencia Peterson, better known as Coach V. She is the founder of OPEN DOOR ABUSE AWARENESS PREVENTION (ODAAP) a nonprofit organization that focuses on trauma-informed education to youth through football. Truly an inspirational story. As if that wasn’t enough, the meeting was closed out with a performance of Love Wins from Heerraa Ravindran an award-winning international singer-songwriter. I look forward to attending more events and exploring opportunities to impact digital accessibility in our community, both locally and globally. #RotaryClub #PyramidClub #Heerraa #Sca11ywag #CommunityImpact #DigitalAccessibility #TraumaInformedEducation #Inspiration #NonprofitLeadership #AccessibilityMatters #LoveWins

?? Watch a video clip from my discussion at CreativePro Week about the critical importance of proper color contrast in design. In this clip, I share a real-life example of how situational disabilities can affect user experience. I recount a story where a user couldn't complete a task because their checkboxes seemed to disappear. The issue? Improper color contrast combined with the user's high brightness setting on their laptop. After my presentation, someone pointed out that the two screens being shared live had different brightness levels. On one screen, the checkboxes were almost non-existent, while on the other, they were more visible. This real-time demonstration highlighted the importance of designing with proper color contrast, as everyone in the room turned their heads to compare both screens. To avoid these issues, ensure all interactive elements have at least a 3:1 color contrast ratio. ?? ? #CreativeProWeek #Accessibility #ColorContrast #InclusiveDesign #UXDesign #DesignTips #DigitalAccessibility #Sca11ywag
