Accessibility means designing so that people with visual, motor, hearing, or cognitive differences can still use a product — concrete practices include keeping text-to-background color contrast strong enough to read (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG, recommend a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal body text), writing descriptive alt text for images so screen readers can describe them, and making sure every action can be completed using a keyboard alone. Figma is currently one of the most widely used collaborative design tools for UX/UI work and offers a free tier, making it an accessible starting point for beginners in Nigeria and across Africa without needing to buy expensive software. To start a career, build a small portfolio of two to four projects (even redesigns of apps you already use) that show your process from research to final screens, since employers and clients hiring for junior design roles — including remote roles on freelance platforms or with African and global startups — care more about demonstrated thinking than a long resume.
