Access Denied #89: UX personas

1 minute read

Sarah: None of these personas have a disability.

Gary: Really? We have 20 in total. What about Tyler?

Sarah: Tyler forages for mushrooms on weekends.

Gary: Priya?

Sarah: Priya ferments her own hot sauce.

Gary: Derek?

Sarah: He hand-grinds his coffee at 5am "for the ritual."

Gary: Impressive.

Sarah: What's impressive is the level of the detail that's completely useless.

Gary: Wait! Marcus. He occasionally uses dark mode.

Sarah: That's not a disability.

Gary: It's a start.
