DESIGN WITH INTENT IS TONIGHT! Have you registered

DESIGN WITH INTENT IS TONIGHT! Have you registered for the Zoom panel yet?!⠀
⠀
Join WID and AIGA Colorado as we host a panel that focuses on our ability as humans and designers to adapt. As designers we have a responsibility not only to our clients, but also to people interacting with our designs. This broad audience requires us to expand our lens to recognize obstacles, diversity, and exclusion. Designing with intent means that we recognize and consider how we intentionally exclude, include, and design these interactions. It is how we intentionally design participation and mutual understanding across a diverse spectrum of culture, gender, identity, socioeconomic backgrounds, and additional variables that make up our humanity.⠀
⠀
Format for the evening includes a short presentation by each panelist, 20 min. panel discussion, and the opportunity for a small break out discussion with one speaker.⠀
⠀
Link in bio to register - WID members must log into their WID account to receive discount code. We can't wait!!
