Equity-Centered Design Workshops:

In the context of intentionally designing with and for the people (not for the executives) in corporate America.

These interactive workshops are a two-part series, focused on education & conversation and equity-centered design.

Workshop 1: Education & Conversation

  1. Personal experience: Come prepared to share something new you learned over the last few weeks about equity in the workplace.

  2. What is an area in the workplace, which you think needs to be re-designed, whether it be a policy, program, process or structure, or maybe more of an abstract concept?

Workshop 2: Equity-Centered Design

I will be sharing the approach of equity-centered design, which builds upon the more popularized IDEO methodology of design thinking. We will then use this approach to begin re-designing one of the topics from the previous session.

Who this is for: Calling people from all backgrounds and all fields of practice. We are all designers with the power to disrupt systems of oppression. The only prerequisite is that you have the desire to establish equity in our workplaces.

These workshops are of course FREE of charge.

What people are saying.

“I highly recommend Diane as an expert in HR and DEI. I participated in a workshop that she led and found that she conducts an excellent program that is very well structured and very inclusive and interactive. It led to many different and great ideas that I hope to implement with my organization.”
