Nº 125 :: IxDA & SDN Oslo August Meetup :: Design ❤️ Equality

This event has passed

Together with Service Design Network Norway, we held a joint meetup on equality in design, looking at how the community could support inclusive practices in its work and workplaces.

Anna Kirah, design anthropologist, psychologist and Managing Director of Design without Borders, asked whether equality is something people want, whether it is a fundamental human right, and what role designers have in it.

Giulia Bazoli, researcher and designer at Designit Oslo and formerly part of the GOV.UK redesign at the UK Government Digital Service, spoke about how designers may unconsciously design for a "default user", and how to build and embed a more diverse and inclusive mindset in an organisation.

Discussion topics included oversimplified demographics and how team composition affects who gets designed for.
