So talking about web accessibility every time I talk to somebody new I’m hearing a different version of what is web accessibility. I’m glad this interview we can do sitting in chairs. So I saw you just finished your first half marathon yesterday. I was like, which thing should I reveal? But I think one thing that a lot of people don’t know about me is one of my favorite current hobbies is actually power lifting and Olympic lifts. Now we know a little bit about who you are and let’s get warmed up and ask you, tell us something that most people would not know about you. Val: And I still do a lot of work around UI animation and web animation, too, because that’s the thing that impacts prototyping and UX and all of our work, so it’s a really fun combination of all my favorite things. Personally since my background is in the web and UX space I mostly work with the XD teams since XD is all about designing, prototyping, which is things UX designers do a lot. And along with that we keep the product teams nicely connected with the design community.

But we have a common goal of elevating the level of design and design discourse both within Adobe and the community. Most recently I have just joined Adobe Design as part of the design practices team. I’ve done a lot of web design in my early days and then about five years ago started my own consultancy around web animation and UI animation, taught people a lot about that. I’ve been working on the web for a very long time. Val: Ooh, that’s always a hard one, right? Brief introductions are the toughest. So, in a brief elevator style introduction who’s Val Head? I’d like to let guests introduce themselves. Nic: Well, thanks for joituning me in and talking about web accessibility today.
