EP: 21 - Design That Embodies Diversity

“Our greatest asset when we design is human diversity.” 

Welcome to Episode 21: Design That Embodies Diversity

Choosing a career in design is often explained by one’s desire to make a difference in the world. Through the level of our creativity, we want to make an impact on people’s lives. We all know that design is an immensely powerful force which tends to illuminate complex issues in society, so with that comes a calling, a duty even, to make sure that what we create represents every single beautiful human being on this lovely planet we call home.

As designers, what we create cannot come from a place of safety and privilege, it must originate from a place of authenticity and inclusion. And in contributing to that movement of positivity (which we here at VU feel ever so strongly about) we must design with a different more inclusive mindset because #AllLivesMatter!

Here's what we will be untangling in this episode ...

• What does diversity in design actually mean?
• What is inclusive marketing?
• How can designers move forward with diverse designs?
