What if “move fast” is the wrong design goal? Hannah Wagner argues that accessibility, trust, and resilience require care. Speed can ship products. Care builds products that last.

Accessibility gets hardest exactly where products get fancier: virtual environments, gamification, interactive video. This ID24 talk argues for building it into the workflow from planning through production, not auditing it at the end.
