Who...me?
If you have a problem you need to solve or a thing you need to design -- and you want to do it equitably -- this bundle is for you <3
Why this?
Equity work can be frustrating, ambiguous, and sometimes overly theoretical, so we designed this 4-course bundle to support you and help you practice, in real life, a process of designing for equity that is hopeful, methodological, and practical :)!
Ok...then what?
This process will build your capacity to make concrete shifts and transformations in yourself, your work, your team, and/or your organization. Everyone is a designer, and even though these times are pretty awful and feel kinda demoralizing -- forgive us for a moment of triteness -- you definitely *can* make a difference, and the equityXdesign complete bundle bundle equips you with a step-by-step framework for doing so.
So what will we do?
This is a full, guided design cycle intended to help you work through a problem you're experiencing now -- it includes theory and also hands-on, practical work. Worksheets, rubrics, thought experiments galore!
Courses included:
1. Introduction to equityXdesign
2. The problem with problems
3. Meta-Empathy
4. Getting to solutions

!!!Coaching bonus alert!!!
