Bringing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion into a Design Agency

The murder of George Floyd in 2020 forced the world to confront systemic racism and discrimination in public and professional spaces. For the design sector, this meant critically assessing our institutions and universities, the homogeneity within our field and the power (with little accountability) that as designers we hold. In response, Designit committed to embedding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as strategic pillars to reshape how we worked together, with our clients, as well as our role within the design discipline.
