If you are a designer, chances are you know that your app should, in some way, support users with disabilities. But with so many potential disabilities that can affect a portion of your users, you may not know how or where to start building accessibility into your app. We get it, it can seem to be a daunting task. Especially if you run into issues with getting buy-in from developers and executive teams.

We all know that communicating a design to our team is a vital part of the design process. But since many design tools don't focus on design transparency and collaboration, sharing our work while we are designing is not a seamless process. That's why some teams have switched to Figma, a design tool that focuses on collaboration. Patrick and Andy met with Dan Vineyard to chat about how he is using Figma's collaboration features on his team and how it has increased team alignment and created a faster design process. LISTEN IN TO HEAR: How Figma has speed up his design process through open team collaboration. How he gets developer and his product manager to ideate together in his design files in real time.

Design critiques are a great way for a designer to get feedback from his/her design team. However, depending on the way they are facilitated or the manner of which a designer asks for feedback, sometimes they don't always turn out so great. Knowing the value of feedback from design peers, how can we as design teams create a critique process that doesn't lead to negative, out of context or unproductive advice that can hurt designs or even bruise a designer's pride in the process? Patrick and Andy met with Ben Peck to discuss the challenges that deign teams face when participating in regular design critiques and how we can make them more productive and helpful for all involved. LISTEN IN TO HEAR: How to build a proper critique process that will work for your team. What sort of critique guidelines can help designers to give/receive productive feedback.
