Ever feel like digital design rules change the second you finally master them? 🌀 It’s not just you—it’s the reality of working in digital. And nowhere is that more true than accessibility. 👀

Big news: New European regulations are about to raise the bar for digital products. As of June 2025, the European Accessibility Act makes accessibility non-negotiable for websites, apps, e-commerce, and more.

If you’re working on self-service devices, banking, or transport, you’re in the spotlight. 🚨 Accessibility is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s a must.

Designing with inclusion in mind from the start elevates the entire experience—not just for users with disabilities, but for everyone. 🌍

Think of your design tokens as more than just ways to manage colours and spacing—they’re the backbone of accessibility. Want to update contrast across a multi-brand system? Set up colour contrast checks in your pipeline and you’re good to go. Automate accessibility, don’t just tick boxes!

My advice: Treat accessibility like a core design asset, not a bolt-on. Bake it into your component libraries, audits, and governance.
