In this episode of Message Received, host Jennifer Madigan speaks with Meggan Van Harten, Co-CEO of Design de Plume, about why accessibility belongs at the foundation of design and communications rather than tacked on at the end. They explore how good design is accessible by definition, why "the way we've always done it" is really a decision about who gets left out, and how catching accessibility gaps early saves organizations from far greater costs down the line. Van Harten also shares how building accessibility into brand guides and templates from the first decision sets teams up to reach everyone their work is meant for.
