These are conversations with the people changing that: researchers, practitioners and advocates working in inclusive design, accessibility and disability inclusion. Join Hyun Song, a service designer in Sydney, on her journey to learn what works, what doesn't, and what it takes to build experiences that truly honour human diversity and dignity. © 2026 Hyun Song | Inclusive Design 760b2c3b-aaf5-5b21-a321-43c8e3963031 yes en Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:17:43 +1100 Tue, 03 Nov 2026 15:18:23 +1100 https://img.transistorcdn.com/KT-_S0M_BmGBQxqjAA9mUaiDGFn3f6sx-KaAL4JFgzE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MzM4/NmQzNTAxMWEzODkx/YzlkZDIyOGJiNzVj/ZTE2OC5wbmc.jpg Inclusive Design Sessions episodic Hyun Song | Inclusive Design Most designs are built for the 'average user', a person nobody has ever actually met.

In this episode, I'm joined by Solomon Romney, Senior Accessibility Product Manager at Amazon and former Accessibility Program Manager at Microsoft, where he helped bring groundbreaking products like the Xbox Adaptive Controller to life.

Drawing on his experience in accessible product development, and his unexpected background in theatre and storytelling, Solomon shares what it takes to move beyond good intentions and build products that genuinely work for people with disabilities.

We explore the power of storytelling to influence change, what it really means to design with rather than for disabled communities, and the challenges of balancing personalisation, simplicity and choice in accessible products.

Along the way, Solomon shares moving stories of people rediscovering the joy of gaming, reminding us that inclusive design is about more than technology. It's about dignity, independence, connection and the freedom to participate.

A conversation packed with practical insights, thoughtful challenges and a powerful reminder of why inclusive design matters.
