How can creators innovate to instill more humanness into their designs? Despite being at the root of almost everything we interact with day-to-day, designers can forget to consider the humans for whom they design.
In this episode, executive design leader, illustrator, podcaster, and educator Antonio Garcia shares his thoughts on the essentialness of human-centered design and innovations that consider people at every step of the process. He discusses where design is excelling, where it still has a ways to go, and why it’s essential to view both work and life from a lens of continuous compassion.
Design your life and work to uphold your humanity:
- The overlap between humanness and innovation
- The simple step that supports human-centered design
- Why the design industry needs to adopt a code of ethics
