Blink UX at San Diego Design Week

Event details

Thursday, September 22, 5:30-6:30 PM PT

As designers, our currency is ideas, and the best inspiration requires perspectives from a diverse range of lived experiences. Join Blink UX practitioners as they discuss how they elevate DEI within their design teams and client work. From recruiting best practices and amplifying underrepresented voices in UX research to building a diverse team of practitioners and getting buy-in from stakeholders, panelists will explore how to let go of perfectionism and give way to vulnerability as they work to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in UX design.

Discussion topics:

• How do we apply DEI initiatives to our research and recruiting practices
• How we practice DEI in our design process
• Challenging projects
• Lessons learned
• Upcoming DEI initiatives and projects
