Check out the first episode of "Keeping It Real", as host Leon Welicki sits down with Power Platform lead at Digital Airways GmbH, John Paulo Espeña, to explore how accessible and beautifully designed Power Apps drive real impact.

In this video, JP shares his journey from mechanical engineer in the Philippines to Power Platform pro, then demos two real-world apps:

* Safety Checklist - quick-glance metrics, guided checks, photos/notes, action matrix
* HR app - employee onboarding, imports, job postings, social integration, AI-powered email parsing and assessments

You’ll also learn practical accessibility guidelines - high foreground/background contrast, clear text visibility, intuitive flows, screen reader support), reusable component libraries, and theming (light/dark mode) to scale consistent UX across apps. 

So, whether you’re building Canvas apps, integrating Power Automate, or adding AI, JP’s approach shows how to design for everyone - without sacrificing speed or polish!
