Design Breakfast by Futurice

Good morning!

 

This edition of Design Breakfast is all about accessibility and how AI is shaping the future of digital design.

 

As a recent CPACC certificate holder, I’m constantly reminded that accessibility is a continuous learning journey. There’s always more to explore, just like in the rapidly evolving world of AI. I’ve chosen two articles focused on accessibility and another two on AI, a topic that continues to shape conversations across nearly every profession today.

Meet our curator of the month

Hanna Oksanen

Hanna is a Senior UI/UX Designer at Futurice with a background in graphic design. Her work blends creativity with systematic thinking, with focus on user experience and accessibility. 

She is dedicated to building digital experiences that are functional and intuitive to use.

WCAG 3.0’s proposed scoring model: A shift in Accessibility evaluation

By Mikhail Prosmitskiy

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is evolving. WCAG 3.0 rethinks the model, prioritising usability over compliance and shifting the focus towards the quality of access rather than the mere presence of features. Could this be the start of a new era in accessibility?

No more User Interface?

By Jakob Nielsen

A bold take on the future of user interfaces by a legendary usability pioneer.

AI is shifting interactions from visible screens to invisible agents, think less UI, more Matrix. As agent-to-agent communication takes over, designers may focus less on pixels and more on mapping unseen flows, intent, and orchestration behind the scenes.

Know more about your curator

Tell us about a project you’ve worked on that you found particularly interesting or challenging.

I worked as part of a team delivering a mobility and ride-ordering service. The entire project was completed in just a few months.

 

The goal was to combine advanced, customer-centric digital services with the trusted reliability of traditional ride operators. Most importantly, ordering a ride needed to be smooth and reliable, offering quick booking, real-time tracking, clear pricing, and upfront payment.

 

We adapted the UI for different screen sizes, larger font settings, and localizations, while maintaining a consistent and accessible experience across platforms. Despite the tight schedule, collaboration was efficient and hands-on. The service was designed to scale, supporting a wide range of users, operators, and future business models.

 

What emerging technologies or trends are you excited about?

I'm curious about two major shifts: the practical application of AI in design and the rise of agentic interfaces. I'm excited by how AI can be a collaborator for creating more accessible and personalized experiences, while agent-based systems challenge us to design for user intent and conversation rather than just clicks. I believe mastering these trends will be key to shaping the next generation of user experiences.

 

What hobbies or interests are you passionate about?

Movies! We have a home cinema setup and love spending family time watching films (though agreeing on what to watch is a challenge of its own). I also enjoy reading, long walks, occasional running (with a 5K run as a goal), and hitting the gym nearby regularly.
