Accessibility@Pega - Podcast: UX Design Systems and how they impact accessibility
April 21, 2026 | 22:15
Design systems shape how people experience digital services—but how do they shape accessibility? In this episode, we dive into the role of user experience design systems in building inclusive products, with a special focus on the GOV.UK Design System and why it’s often cited as a benchmark for accessible design. Join our team for a lively, practical conversation with Arthur Turner, accessibility tester for the UK government, and Alex James, Pega consultant working closely with UK public‑sector teams, as we explore real‑world impact, lessons learned, and what product teams everywhere can take away. [Season 2; Episode 2]
