In today’s brand new episode of #SystemsOfHarm I chat to accessibility specialist @tink.uk about how design systems can help us create more accessible UX, how to advocate for our disabled product users, and whether AI will help or hinder us in the process

Amazing isn’t it?! Where did you visit? I definitely want to come back as there’s so much we didn’t see this time. We did Honegg (near Lake Lucerne), Zurich and Wengen - with a stop at Interlaken on the drive

I know it’s WILD isn’t it? Always wanted to come to Switzerland and it’s even more beautiful than I imagined

I’ve been ill the past couple of days and a few years ago that would have sent me home (literally, I’ve abandoned multiple holidays in the face of no more than a cold) and although it’s wobbled me, I am coping and taking care of myself. And if I do have to be laid up in bed somewhere…

Missing @webdevconf.com this year but here’s my excuse.

I’m so grateful to be able to travel. For years, anxiety and agoraphobia meant that I couldn’t. It never completely goes away but I’m so glad I have tools to manage it now so I don’t miss out on things like this.

Jungfrau again seen from the swimming pool below. Some yellow sun umbrellas sit amongst the trees in front.

Three paragliders hover over the grass in Interlaken with alps visible in the background. The air is hazy with mountain mist.

Found a UX podcast called Systems of Harm by @amyhupe.bsky.social, about how design systems can perpetuate elements of systemic harm inadvertently. Most episodes were recorded in 2023 and it's still so relevant. It resumed this week with an interview with @gerireid.com.

ALSO I wrote a thing for Zeroheight: When’s the right time to start documenting your design system?

In here I talk about what type of documentation to aim for at each stage of your design system’s lifecycle.
