Full Transcript - Episode 9 - Web Design and A11y
Karen Pellegrin is the Digital Web guru for the City and County of Denver. Her range is immediately obvious in this conversation as one steeped in accessible design and training. She discusses her background, role and responsibilities in government, as well as experience guiding a large organization to meet the challenges of ensuring equitable and transparent information is readily available to all citizens. For Karen, this means going beyond doing the bare minimum of 508 or the WCAG standards. There is so much that is required, but Karen's approach is so relatable it helps everyone who engages with her to understand why accessibility is so important.
