Design Systems are a popular way to bake your product. An often-missing ingredient, however, is accessible UI components. In this talk, you’ll learn the recipe for a delectably inclusive design system by mixing accessibility flavor into some commonly-used React components including icons, buttons, inputs, and dropdown widgets. You’ll also learn how to spice up your design system’s documentation with approachable, accessibility best-practices guidance including interactive examples, and component dos and don’ts. Even if you’ve never seen React before, join me to learn how to make your design system delicious.
