Identifying and Learning from Exclusivity and Biases in Design

Description

Design is subjective, both visually and experientially. It is reflective of who we are as human beings and is capable of shaping the world around us. Unfortunately, the comfort of privilege can be found in biased design throughout history. Designers and engineers of digital products have a great responsibility to bring inclusivity into our work. Mark will talk about how to identify our biases, see how they manifest in our designs, and learn how to use diversity as a countermeasure. Sponsored by Kate Lasky, OLA President.
