Design isn’t just about what looks good—it’s about what works for everyone. Too often, accessibility is seen as a checklist rather than a core principle. But when we exclude people, we create gaps in experiences that should be seamless for all users.

An estimated 16% of the world’s population has some form of disability. That number doesn’t include those facing temporary impairments—like a broken arm—or situational challenges—like bright sunlight making screens unreadable. Accessibility benefits everyone, not just a select few.

Creating truly inclusive designs means considering:

• High contrast – Low-contrast text is unreadable in poor lighting.
• Keyboard support – Not everyone can or wants to use a mouse.
• Beyond color – Relying on color alone excludes colorblind users.
• Scalable typography – Users should adjust text size without breaking layouts.
• Motion sensitivity – Some animations can cause discomfort or dizziness.

A bridge is only useful when everyone can cross it. The same applies to design—it should welcome, not block. Accessibility isn't a compromise; it’s a foundation for better, smarter, and more human-centered experiences.
