My CPWA Experience

2022 was the year my dream of getting more into accessibility finally came true. While I was studying for the IAAP certifications I was surprised by how valuable I found other people’s accounts of how they studied for them. I promised myself I’d contribute back to that if I passed the exams. And I passed, so here’s what I did!

Yes even us

The passport system in Sweden collapsed earlier this year when pandemic travel restrictions lifted and half the country tried to renew their passports at once. In March I tried to book an appointment to get passports for the kids so they could visit their extended family for the first time. The date I got was in October.

Retrofitted this drum sequencer UI with some accessibility improvements. Particularly proud of how the use of “bars”, “beats” and “cells” in the ARIA labels makes it possible to perceive a data structure that was previously only represented visually via varying amounts of blank space.
