Monika is an Inclusive Design graduate student at OCAD U with some experience working as a UX designer. Her research study mainly focuses on accessibility in user interfaces for people with visual impairments. She completed her bachelor’s degree with a major in Graphic Design from Central India School of Fine Arts and then went on to work as a designer for the next 3 years.
It was while working that she realized there are a number of problems faced by people with visual impairments which need some solution. People with colourblindness and low vision find it difficult to interact with everyday interfaces. After starting the course at OCAD, that became the topic of her research study. The “Guide to designing Inclusive User Interfaces” will surely help designers in coming up with more accessible and inclusive interfaces.
