Partnering with the other council members, we are contributing design ideology and user feedback on Deque's accessibility Figma plugin axe for Designers to help mature the product and influence the product roadmap. The council's overall objective is to shift-left to prevent the creation of accessibility issues further down the production process. This is a volunteer, year-long position. My personal aim is to help the design and accessibility communities to help make the overall process easier and more efficient for all parties.
