So I was super excited when he agreed to be the first interview guest on the show. I have to thank Brian as well for being such a trooper as we ran into a number of technical issues and even lost a small snippet of the recording. Thanks, Brian!Brian currently works at https://www.incedoinc.com/Brian discovered and was turned on to UX design from Code for America. https://www.codeforamerica.org/Brian and I talk a lot about web accessibility. I love his line about "Accessibility really comes down to decency". I asked Brian about accessibility specifically because he was my go-to resource when we worked together for all accessibility-related questions as he always had the right answer.Some links to further your Accessibility education:Deque Accessibility Training. https://www.deque.com/training/Web Aim. https://webaim.org/IAAP. https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/Brian's Inspirations:Jared Spool. https://www.uie.com/Whitney Quesenbery. https://civicdesign.org/about/our-team/Educating Yourself:Center Centre. https://www.centercentre.com/Just some bears brewing bears.Bear Party Brewing. https://www.instagram.com/bearpartybrewing/?hl=enBrian and some of his friends have been brewing beer to keep active during this pandemic.
