Creativepool: Studio Noel’s take on why we need a new set of rules for accessibility
Our Founder and Strategy Director, Michelle, discusses why accessible design needs a more nuanced and human-centred approach in her recent Creativepool feature.
At Studio Noel, inclusive design is not just a guideline, it’s a responsibility. In a recent Creativepool feature, our Strategy Director, Michelle Noel, called for a more thoughtful approach to accessibility, challenging the over-reliance on broad, rigid standards. Michelle mentioned that while frameworks like WCAG are essential, they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, she advocates for more context-aware, creative ways to make design genuinely inclusive, ways that embrace nuance, reflect lived experiences, and allow for flexibility. It’s about designing with people, not just for them.
