Marie Benoit

Mobile Engineer Apprentice - Delta Dore / Accessibility Consulting

Former modern literature teacher, I chose to retrain in mobile development, specializing in Android and iOS. After an apprenticeship at Hellowork, I now develop applications in Kotlin and Swift, with a strong focus on user experience and digital accessibility. Raised awareness of comprehension and inclusivity issues through my teaching experience, I explore ways to make mobile interfaces more accessible, intuitive, and inclusive, particularly for people with cognitive disabilities.

UX & Cognitive Accessibility: Making User Experiences Truly Simple

Before becoming a mobile developer, Marie supported newcomers to France. She quickly learned that when words fall short, visuals and intuitive interactions bridge the gap. Later, these lessons became even more relevant in mobile development, where she faced overloaded screens, complex jargon, and confusing flows. These are barriers that can make apps particularly challenging for people with cognitive disabilities. This insight led her to Fanny, an expert in mobile accessibility. Their immediate connection sparked a collaboration to turn these lessons into practical design strategies, creating cleaner interfaces with simple language and meaningful visual cues. In this talk, we’ll show you through hands-on, interactive examples how to simplify user experiences using cognitive accessibility principles. Good design isn’t just beautiful, it’s also understandable by everyone. Ready to rethink your UX?
