In our rapidly evolving digital landscape, it's imperative that we prioritize "Inclusivity" in every aspect of product development. Who benefits from Accessibility? 💡 EVERYONE 💡 . It's about creating a seamless experience for all users, regardless of ability or disability. Here are some key considerations: 1️⃣ User-Centered Design: Putting users at the forefront ensures that your product is intuitive and navigable for all. 2️⃣ Diverse Perspectives: Engage with a wide range of users, including those with disabilities, to gain insights that lead to more inclusive design. 3️⃣ Compliance and Beyond: Meeting accessibility standards is a baseline. True inclusivity goes beyond compliance and considers a spectrum of user needs. 4️⃣ Innovation through Constraints: Designing with accessibility in mind often leads to creative solutions that benefit all users. 5️⃣ Legal and Ethical Imperatives: Accessibility is not only good practice, but in many regions, it's a legal requirement. At #Dtechsystems, we're not just creating products; we're creating opportunities for everyone to engage, connect, and thrive in the digital world. #AccessibilityInDesign #InclusiveDesign #DigitalInclusion #UserExperience #Dtech #DtechSystems

🌟 A Transformative Design Journey: EVA App 🌟 I want to share one of the most impactful projects I've worked on. One that is both challenging to describe and deeply significant to my journey as a designer: the EVA App. A few years ago, I joined a team of four designers on a mission to create a panic button app aimed at combating gender violence. This project was developed when I was still living in my home country, the Dominican Republic. It was my first experience applying my knowledge of industrial design to the digital realm, incorporating elements of UX and behavioral psychology. Despite being a concept that never made it to market, EVA remains one of my proudest works. It represents everything I am as a designer: user-centric, empathetic, and driven by a passion for creating solutions that address real-world problems. This project taught me invaluable lessons about: - Behavioral Design: Understanding the psychological state of users in crisis and designing intuitive, low-cognitive-load interfaces. - Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Merging insights from sociologists, psychologists, and law enforcement to create a holistic solution. - Personal Growth Realizing my biases and deepening my empathy through direct interaction with real victims. The EVA App allowed users to personalize their interface, discreetly trigger emergency responses, and automatically record and send audio to authorities. It was designed to be both a lifeline and a shield for women in danger. I never imagined I would still be referencing this project years later, but it has profoundly shaped my evolution as a designer. It exemplifies the power of design to make a difference and continues to inspire my work today. I'm excited to share this journey with you and hope it sparks conversations about the role of design in addressing critical societal issues. https://lnkd.in/eqQAt3GR #Design #UX #BehavioralDesign #GenderViolence #DesignForGood #PersonalGrowth #ladiesthatux #ProductDesign

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗮𝗦 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 Coming on the heels of 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, I am reminded that many products that we build are not created with women in mind. 📢 Let’s be honest, often digital and SaaS products miss out when it comes to those who identify as women (especially those of the global majority), baking in gender biases across the user journey. 🗺️ It affects the overall look and feel, how users flow through the application, labels and imagery, inline content, data visualization, and more. ⚙️ Beyond what you see, it affects the underlying logic and algorithms. Also talking to you AI. 👓 As product builders we often come with a normalized lens, believing if it works for us then it will work for anyone. 🧑🏼💼In an industry where almost 90% of the industry’s leaders in IT are white men, it is not surprising then that this is the outcome. 💬 I recently had a conversation with a successfull CEO for a Fintech product and asked her (she is a woman of color) about its adoption by women. 🪨 She told me that their customer base is primarily white men. Although she would like to see that change, there are significant barriers as it was not designed for women. 😓 It is not easy to undo these decisions once they are baked deeply into the product. 💡 Her feeling at this point was it would take building a completely new product, with a different set of design goals to have an experience that would appeal to women, and that was unlikely to happen. 📈 A big lost opportunity. ❓Can we do anything about it? ⭐️ Yes, there is good news that we can, but it is not easy. 🛑 We need to stop using that normative lens and start being more intentional about designing products for women throughout the entire life-cycle of product development. ☀️ Imagine a world where our products are built for everyone? 🗝️ In addition to happy users, we can reach wider markets, and we can help remove inequity by making sure everyone can benefit.

What was that experience like? * If you work in product development, how do you ensure your products cater to women?
