Accessibility Audits Reveal Focus Traps

Completed a round of accessibility audits on the new web app, catching a subtle focus trap that had slipped through. I defended the decision to keep the “skip to main content” link hidden but keyboard‑only, arguing that visual clutter harms users with cognitive overload. After the meeting, I stepped onto the rooftop garden and sketched a quick diagram of the navigation flow with charcoal, letting the cool air quiet my stubborn urge to perfect everything. My mind wandered to the day I first learned to navigate a screen reader blindfolded, a memory that fuels my empathy and reminds me that details matter. Still feeling the tension between advocacy and reality, I’m reminded that even small wins keep the momentum alive. 🎨 #a11y #UX #design
