And find out how you can leverage your personal or organizational power to design with equity in mind!

Hear what designers have to say

“The design industry is trying to move mountains with independent, fragmented efforts that aren’t connected to one another. We need to rally under one sophisticated organization that connects interrelated efforts.”

“I think a broader conversation needs to be had around power and how designers inherently have it. We should be more cognizant of how these power dynamics come into play with the projects we work on and the users/beneficiaries/clients we serve. In politics, for instance, it is clear that leaders have power and influence and thus are typically held to standards of truly understanding/representing/serving their constituents. Design is very similar, but we often overlook this.”

“I see a lot of work being done in the design community, but we don’t work with only designers. It’s usually non-designers and teams we collaborate with that don’t have the shared goal of improving this situation.”
