Bought the ebook on Amazon UK, yay! Would’ve loved a hardcover but it told me it would take 3-6 months to get to Ireland 😂

Amazon price info. Hardcover: €60.72. Other New from €60.72. -6% off the RRP which is at €64.86. All prices include VAT.

Ooh 6% off! Somehow I don’t think @donnie.damato.design is getting all that 60 euros if I buy it from Amazon IE.

I’m also looking forward to starting a discussion on inclusivity in design and picking the brains of the experts there!

Teaching inclusive design from day one Join us along with our fantastic speaker Laura Kalbag, Educational Content Creator at Penpot and author of Accessibility for Everyone.

At the end of the month I’ll be speaking at Accessibility Ireland about teaching inclusive design from day one. It’ll be all about how I’m trying to integrate inclusive design into the UI Design with @penpot.app course.

Join us! Thursday 30th April in Dublin…

Episodio 170: Laura Kalbag | Accessibility Is Not Optional

I was a guest on Layshi Curbelo’s fabulous Command Z podcast and the episode is out now!

We recorded this in-person during Penpot Fest. Layshi is the best host and it was a very cathartic experience 💜

Congratulations! Gorgeous cover. Will there be a digital version so those of us outside the US and UK can get hold of it?

A graphic using Penpot.app's dark blue gradient background with hot pink and white graphics of a megaphone speaker and a ribbon with the name 'Eriol Fox' with anime sparkles in pink and white. At the top there is a heart and pencil logo and the title 'penpot Ambassador'. The photo is of Eriol who is a slim, femme presenting person with light skin ton, pink and black glasses, pale pink hair, large hoop earrings and is holding a microphone while adjusting their glasses and smiling at the camera.

@penpot.app have announced their ambassador program and I’m excited and honoured to be part of the first cohort of ambassadors alongside some fantastic and inspiring folks. penpot.app/ambassador-p...

I fear we Brits may have to acknowledge we’ve overextended the definition of the word pudding.

It put “Kitchen roll” in the Bakery section for me 🤨

Also shoutout to @piccalil.li because the yellow makes me happy every time I visit that wonderful website.

Yellow is my favourite colour and @stephaniewalter.bsky.social truly knows how to rock colour (accessibly) in design.

SO cool

Introduction slide to the talk How to Convince People to Care and Invest in Accessibility by Stéphanie Walter at axe-con 2026, with an illustration of a woman smiling and watering yellow-leafed plants, one of which is in a pot marked with the universal accessibility symbol. Yellow flowers and purple leaves surround her.

Also, I've prepared a talk to help designers, who are tired of having accessibility pushed later, or ignored.
February 25, 9am ET (3pm CET) I'll open the design track at #axecon with my talk "How to Convince People to Care and Invest in Accessibility" : www.deque.com/axe-con/sess...
