Curious about how to write effective alt text for charts and graphs? My colleagues and I recently contributed some new guidleines for Material Design.

Thanks for the shout-out @smashingmag! It's been an honor sharing UX articles that focus on topics like #datavisualization, #accessibility and #architecture over the past 10 years.

Our Person of the Week is a Datavis Lead at Google, passionate about visual languages, design systems, and data accessibility. Please give a warm round of applause for... Kent Eisenhuth! Thank you for everything you do for the community, dear @KentTheHuth! #smashingcommunity

I had a blast sharing a talk on the importance of #datavisualization and #accessibility to a hall full of design, computer science, business and psychology students at @BrownUniversity today. I especially enjoyed the discussion at the end. The students' energy was incredible!

I'm excited to return to Philly to share a brand new @DataVizSociety talk, Storytelling with AI and Pictures: A Tale of Connectivity in Outer Space. If you like #storytelling, #space travel, #satellites, #lasers, #MachineLearning and #datavis, then this talk is for you! meetup.com/philadelphia-d…

@FrankElavsky Thanks for the shout-out and kind feedback @FrankElavsky. This is one of my favorite examples. This approach to interaction states has tested well on an array of visualization types too. Excited to share more in the future too.

Chart accessibility is difficult! Check out my @smashingmag article on how WCAG standards can empower good design rather than constrain it. #Datavisualization #dataaccessibility #a11y #inclusivedesign smashingmagazine.com/2024/02/access…

Thanks @UU_UXpodcast for a great discussion on accessible data visualization, my book, Drawing Product Ideas, and much more!

How can #product & #ux #designers ensure that #data #visualisations are accessible to #users in all contexts? How can #AI help designers make better, more #accessible choices for visualising data? Author, speaker and Design Lead @KentTheHuth from #google shares his wisdom🎧🎙

In honor of #GAAD2023, here are some accessible datavis resources created by my colleagues and I: Material Design's Top Tips For Data Accessibility material.io/blog/data-visu… An Accessibility-First Approach to Chart Visual Design (@smashingmag Case Study) smashingmagazine.com/2022/07/access… It's Data Accessibility, Not Data Visualization.

So excited to see data accessibility getting some love in the next issue of Nightingale! Looking forward to the article @DataVizSociety

@H2RProductSci Glad you found it useful!

Great takeaways

Back at #uxdx for Day 2, listening to @KentTheHuth talk about #accessibility in #uxdesign

@blprnt Take care of yourself, Jer! We're beyond grateful for all the inspiration you already gave us.
