:: Accessibility for all ::
There are more than[masked] people only in the Netherlands that have some sort of disability that makes it hard for them to visit and go through a website. As designers we should know what these disabilities are and how we can keep them in mind when designing. In this workshop we are going to go through the basics.

:: We are all biased ::
Cognitive biases are common in the field of design research. You may encounter them as you plan the user interviews when you conduct them, and afterwards when you, the team and the stakeholders analyse the results. In her talk, Tiia covers "seven deadly biases" that repeatedly intervene in her work (and most likely yours too, if you happen to work with humans), and provides some tips and help on how to prevent them from skewing valuable research data.
Tiia Vahla is a User Experience designer at Van Lanschot. As she began her journey in the world of Fintech and digital private banking 2 years ago, promoting empathy and the value of understanding the customer's needs became her most important duty.
