Webinar | How Bad Inclusive Design Is Costing Your Brand More Than You Think with Ljubisa Kukulj
In this live session, Ljubisa Kukulj, Product Experience Design Manager at Mastercard, will break down the difference between true inclusive design and the “trendy” inclusive design that looks good online but fails real users.
You’ll explore current trends shaping perceptions of accessibility and inclusivity on social media, and how brands are unintentionally creating poor user experiences by focusing more on appearances than real usability. Ljubiša will walk you through good vs. bad practices, giving you a clearer sense of how authentic inclusive design can boost user satisfaction—and your business results.
If you want to create products that are truly accessible, usable, and future-proof, this session is for you.
