So wait, we can’t call it the design “industry” any more? Some people really drink their own sauce and think it’s the fountain of… something. They’ll be back with a survey for you to fill out soon so they can report on it all.

Daily updates from the UX Industry & Community are cool, so we thought it’d be interesting to learn what the various patterns and signals are across UX in weeks, and in months. And then we did: patternsandsignals.com

I'm running a free online 1 hour accessibility webinar in September! Catching accessibility issues in mockups is cheaper than fixing them in code. I'll cover how to check your mockups, documentation examples and you will get plenty of resources to help. 📅 Tue, Sept 1, 2026 · 19:00 CEST

Spotting Accessibility Issues Early — Online Workshops
Accessibility is not only a developer problem, it's team work! And many issues can already be spotted, prevented, and documented during the design phase. In this 1-hour webinar, Stephanie Walter will show designers and open-minded curious developers how to review mockups for common accessibility issues.
