Accessibility isn’t just about meeting compliance requirements. It’s about making sure every customer has a great experience, regardless of their abilities.<\/p>\n

For Jack Canavan, Senior UX\/UI Designer at METRO Markets GmbH, that responsibility is part of his everyday work.<\/p>\n

METRO Markets GmbH is one of Europe’s leading B2B marketplaces for the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n

With millions of users relying on the platform, accessible design isn’t optional. It’s essential for creating inclusive digital experiences while meeting increasingly important regulations like the European Accessibility Act (EAA)<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To strengthen his expertise in the field, Jack completed the Professional Certificate in Designing for Accessibility<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the impact it had on both his work and his organisation.<\/p>\n

Building on a passion for inclusive design<\/b><\/h2>\n

Accessibility wasn’t a new topic for Jack.<\/p>\n

Before moving into digital product design, he worked in social design, helping improve physical spaces for people with disabilities and making public environments easier to navigate for neurodiverse users.<\/p>\n

But as accessibility became an increasingly important focus within digital products, he wanted to deepen his knowledge.<\/p>\n

The course helped him do exactly that.<\/p>\n

As a designer who is passionate about continuous learning, expanding his accessibility expertise felt like a natural next step.<\/p>\n

My work is driven by a desire to connect people and learn about how we can collectively address major social issues impacting communities today. I’m eager to learn new things and continuously grow through new adventures and challenges.<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/h2>\n

From compliance to practical action<\/b><\/h2>\n

For Jack, one of the biggest strengths of the programme was its practical approach.<\/p>\n

Rather than treating accessibility as something to check at the end of a project, the course showed him how to build inclusive thinking into the design process from the very beginning.<\/p>\n

The most valuable aspect of the course was how it translated accessibility from theory into practical design decisions. I also appreciated the focus on inclusive thinking throughout the design process, rather than treating accessibility as a final checklist.<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The learning didn’t just change the way Jack designs. It also changed how he collaborates with developers, QA teams and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing solely on individual accessibility requirements under the European Accessibility Act, he now thinks about how accessibility can become part of everyday product development and existing team workflows.<\/p>\n

It’s given me a better way to support development and QA by making accessibility requirements clearer, easier to act on, and part of existing workflows.<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today, accessibility shapes both the way Jack designs and the way his teams work together, ensuring inclusive thinking is built into products from the start rather than added later.<\/p>\n

Why Jack recommends the course<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jack believes the Professional Certificate in Designing for Accessibility is valuable for anyone working on digital products, particularly as accessibility standards continue to evolve beyond Europe.<\/code><\/p>\n

As governments around the world introduce and strengthen accessibility legislation, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the US, accessibility will only become more important in the years ahead, making it a global priority for organisations designing digital products.<\/p>\n

I would highly recommend this course for anyone working with digital products; the team at UXDI has done an incredible job of breaking down the European Accessibility Act into digestible action points and techniques.<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking ahead<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jack’s story shows that accessibility isn’t just about compliance. It’s about creating digital products that work better for everyone.<\/p>\n

By completing the Professional Certificate in Designing for Accessibility, he has embedded accessibility into his design process from the very beginning. More importantly, that mindset now extends beyond his own work, helping his wider team build accessibility into their workflows too.<\/p>\n

The result is digital experiences that not only help organisations meet evolving accessibility requirements, but also create better, more inclusive experiences for every user.<\/p>\n
