This advice has stayed with me: 'It's essential to learn how a digital tool wants you to think, so that you can free yourself of its bias.' It reminds me that the pressure to conform to a tool’s defaults can limit our creativity by narrowing our process without our awareness.
The primary focus of design tools on visual artifacts can skew a designer's output. Tools like Figma may inadvertently limit creative possibilities by not providing adequate options, particularly in areas like accessibility.
The work of Tversky and Kahneman showed how easily accessible information can bias our thoughts and decisions. This availability heuristic suggests that the tools we use can shape our output in subtle but profound ways.
Accessibility in design is often overshadowed by visual elements. Important, non-visual details like semantics and meta-information are crucial, yet many modern tools aren’t equipped to help users manage these effectively.
