In 2020, NASA embarked on a completely new design for all of its web-based public-facing content. With millions of consumers of its content around the world, accessibility is a major pillar of the design effort. Learn how accessible innovation was embedded throughout the design process.

This session is based on the work that Blink performed as the design agency for this project starting in 2019 and continuing through 2021.
