Designing Accessible Data: Inclusive Practices for Effective Visualization

How can we ensure that data visualization is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities? While data is essential for decision-making and storytelling, it is often presented in ways that exclude audiences who rely on screen readers, alternative text, or other assistive technologies.
Join us on March 5 for a discussion on inclusive data visualization, where we’ll explore how to design and present data in a way that is clear, accessible, and meaningful for all users.
Our speaker, Sindhu Gadepalli, is a Product Designer with expertise in product discovery and research. She is passionate about creating diverse and inclusive user experiences and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Design Management at Savannah College of Art and Design, while also consulting as a Founding Designer with a startup.
