Designing for Inclusion
Have you ever felt like some designs are made to be exclusive? Not the cool, fun “exclusive”… the “you’re leaving people out” exclusive. From non-inclusive surveys about gender to not having baby stations in men’s bathrooms, there are many examples of products that just leave people out.
Our society, and the people in it, have biases. And because design is people-centric, it can also have biases. This talk will explore what biases in design look like and what the consequences can be when someone doesn’t recognize that bias can greatly change your design process and outcome: From lack of usability to even potential harm. Speakers will discuss how these exclusionary moments in design mentioned above are more common than we even realize. The session will also explore what happens when designers remove those biases and what great good can be done when designing for equity.
The audience will learn. . .
