Advocating Social Impact through Design
🔗design-milk.com/designing-for-good-with-design-for-america/
Overview:
In 2018, I co-authored an article for Design Milk in collaboration with Design for America, highlighting the organization's impact on students and communities. The article emphasized how design can drive meaningful change and featured insights from DFA members.
Challenge:
Articulate the significance of socially responsible design to a broad audience, inspiring designers to engage in impactful projects.
Approach:
“I see [the scope of legislation] as useful for understanding what the context is for asking designers to be accountable and take a proactive approach to accessibility and usability in their work...The field of accessibility design is where I see a lot more examples of design being helpful.”
Outcome:
The article reached a wide audience, sparking discussions about design’s role in addressing social challenges and reinforcing Design for America's mission to inspire socially impactful design.
