Due to the exponential increase in digital adoption, the role of a UX designer is becoming more complex — one of which is the need to cater to a growing diverse set of users each with unique experiences, preferences, and conditions. Ultimately this puts forth the importance of adopting the principles of accessible and inclusive design. This session aims to raise awareness and start conversations about the state of Inclusion in SEA and how they can transform their design culture to champion accessibility and inclusion to hopefully steer towards a society based upon empathy and solidarity.
