What to Expect
In a fireside chat with Vincent Fiorentini, Software Engineering Manager and creator of Color Blind Pal, we'll cover color blindness and new accessibility tools. Vincent will offer notes on your submitted flows or assets.
With implications for human safety (navigation, medicine, hardware signaling, food "doneness"), marketing, instructional design, and more, this event will help those who work in fields like design, research, marketing, or education, see through the eyes of an estimated ~10% of color blind consumers who navigate a world cued by color.
Vincent will discuss:
his experiences as a color blind person, with examples simulated by his app
other tools for accessibility review
and critique a few submitted assets + flows from his POV (someone with the most common type of color blindness)
Stay after for casual conversation + networking!
