Designing for positive change is not a step-by-step process. It's about challenging beliefs and assumptions. It's about evolving practices and systems. And it takes times and effort.
You don't have to let this complexity keep you from starting to make positive social impact with design.
That's why this playbook breaks down complex topics and brings you changemaking frameworks to help you make forward progress.
In its original inception as the Inclusive Design Starter Guide, this resource was built over 3 months in early 2023 by Sandra Camacho (She/Her) with support from Inclusive Design Jam community members.
Sandra Camacho (She/Her) is an inclusive & equitable design strategist, educator and advisor (Sandra By Design) and founder of Design Changemakers and the Inclusive Design Jam.
She is a cis-heterosexual mestiza woman of mixed heritage born in Colombia, raised in the U.S. and living in France for 10 years.
This guide reflects her learnings in 13+ years in Tech, the humanitarian sector and independent consulting. It's anchored in years of study of intercultural relations, social design and design innovation. And it builds upon the work of DEI and social justice practitioners.
