Scaling Accessibility with Design Systems
Tue, Jun 2, 11:30 PMThis event will be online on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/_4k16DgOUMA) and in-person (New York City). **The speaker and live stream starts at 7:30 pm ET**. In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. **Description** Twenty million New Yorkers. Forty-five agencies. Tens of thousands of web pages, forms, and applications. What does it take to scale accessibility across an entire state? Jesse Gardner leads the Design System and Accessibility teams for the State of New York. He'll share what his teams have learned about scaling accessibility: resources and education to grow team maturity over time, manual accessibility reviews as a service, and a shared design infrastructure with built-in accessibility. He'll spend most of the talk on the design system. It's already helping teams scale accessible design, and it's increasingly serving as a foundation for accessibility in AI-assisted code-generation. This talk is for the full A11yNYC community: engineers, designers, advocates, content strategists, lawyers, librarians, researchers, and anyone who wants to understand where accessibility is headed in the next few years. Topics include: * Why a design system is one of the highest-leverage accessibility investments any organization can make * A live, plain-language demonstration of how AI tools interact with this kind of shared guidance (you don't need knowledge to follow along) * Why AI tools often produce inaccessible work, and what it looks like when you give them clear instructions and accessible building blocks * Honest lessons from coordinating accessibility work across the state * Practical advice for any accessibility program, no matter the size or budget Attendees will gain: * A real-world perspective from large-scale government services * Practical examples for scaling accessibility beyond "just work harder" * Guidance for harnessing AI to ensure accessible output **Presenter bio** [Jesse Gardner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/plasticmind/) is Director of Accessibility and Design Systems at the New York State Office of Information Technology Services, where he leads two teams serving more than 45 state agencies and 20 million New Yorkers. He built the New York State Design System from scratch and led the state's response to the DOJ Title II accessibility compliance deadline (recently extended to April 2027). Before joining the public sector, Jesse spent more than two decades in software engineering and design leadership. He speaks regularly on the intersection of design systems, accessibility, and AI (most recently at Into Design Systems 2026) and writes at plasticmind.com. He lives in upstate New York with his wife and four kids. **Accessibility** The presentation will have human captions [CC], not automatic captions.

Once the viewing period ends, this recording will not be offered again for at least one year.** Nestled in the New York City neighborhood of Greenwich Village, the block of West 10th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues is one of Manhattan’s hidden gems, both architecturally and historically. This charming mixture of 19th and early 20th century structures along one block is not only one of the most picturesque enclaves in New York City, but also plays an important role in America's literary and artistic legacy. Who are some of the notable New York figures who once called this street home, and how has it transformed over the generations? It's time to take a virtual stroll down one of Manhattan's smallest, yet most significant streets. Join [New York Adventure Club](https://www.nyadventureclub.com/) as we uncover the historical and architectural legacy of West 10th Street in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, one of New York's most unique blocks that still contains many of its original structures dating back to the 1800s. Led by historian Tom Miller, our virtual exploration of West 10th Street and its fascinating homes and history will include: * **A brief overview of Greenwich Village**, from when the neighborhood began to develop to why it became a hub for New York's most notable figures * A discussion around **the** **home of humorist and author Mark Twain**, reputed to be one of the most haunted houses in New York City * **A virtual look at the house where Emma Lazarus lived** when she wrote the poem “The New Colossus” for the dedication of the Statue of Liberty * The house where **sitting President Woodrow Wilson proposed** to Edith Bolling Galt, and where their wedding reception was held * A former carriage house that became **home to famed actor Maurice Evans, playwright Edward Albee, and composer Jerry Herman** * **Riveting stories of the millionaires, artists, and writers** who made this West 10th Street block their home, and how their residences — and even carriage houses — are being used today Afterward, we'll have a **Q&A with Tom** — any and all questions about West 10th Street are welcomed and encouraged! Can't make it live? Don't worry, you'll have access to the **full replay for one week**! See you there, virtually! \*Immediately upon registering, you will receive a separate, automated email containing the link to join this webinar \*\*For the best possible viewing experience, please ensure you're using the latest version of your internet browser — Google Chrome is the most compatible. Exact technical requirements and a webinar user guide will be shared in the automated confirmation email upon registration. \*\*\*A full replay of the experience will be available to all registered guests for up to a week **About Tom** Architectural and social historian Tom Miller is the author of [Seeking New York](https://www.amazon.com/Seeking-New-York-Architecture-Manhattan-One/dp/0789329174), [Seeking Chicago](https://www.amazon.com/Seeking-Chicago-Architecture-City-One-Building/dp/0789333872/), as well as the popular blog “[Daytonian in Manhattan](http://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/).” Since 2009 Tom has published a blog post on a different Manhattan location every day — now totaling more than 3,000. His research and reporting focus as much on the social histories of the buildings — the tragedies and sorrows, triumphs and scandals of the people who built and lived in the houses — as on their architecture and styles. Tom Miller’s retelling of these stories make the buildings come alive; and suddenly they are more than brick, marble, and limestone, but the histories of real people.
