In her book Design for Identity: How to Design Authentically for a Diverse World, Jessica Bantom explores the concept of human-centered design that taps into an understanding of identity: how people live, what’s important to them, and what informs their perspectives and experiences. The pivotal tool she presents to achieve this is the Design for Identity BlueprintTM, a practical framework that honors humanity, celebrates diversity, promotes equity and inclusion, and ensures that the design profession mirrors and keeps up with the realities of our evolving world.
In this session, Jessica will explore the importance of cultural competence in the practice of design. She will present the 6 Habits of Culturally Competent Designers and how they are demonstrated in the execution of the Design for Identity Blueprint.
