Leading Laterally: Accessibility from the Bottom Up

Greenlines System for Accessible User Experience
Greenlines is a tool UX designers utilize to annotate design, providing developers with guidance for creating accessible code, and serving as a reference for testers to assess compliance. As an advocate for the “shift left” strategy, I’ve helped incorporate accessibility into the requirements and design stages of the product development life cycle by creating, standardizing, and branding a set of accessibility markers called “Greenlines” and made it available to every designer at JPMorgan Chase.
