Our Exclusive Society

About this book

Inclusive design is the practice of making a product, service, or environment optimized for inclusion. Almost any system that has people as its end-user can benefit from inclusive design.

Our Exclusive Society: Pathways Toward Inclusion by Design takes a look at many exclusive areas of modern society and the leaders that are inclusifying them. In this book, you'll read amazing stories from people like:

  • Dr. Lauren Bricker, a leading woman in tech and how she creates inclusive communities at work.
  • Lynsay Whelan, an occupational therapist who uses local resources to design life changing prosthetic devices.
  • Bhargavi Rao, an environmental scientist who fights to raise awareness of human and constitutional rights for her fellow citizens.

Our Exclusive Society is for anyone who creates experiences. It's a starting point for thinking about the communities you belong to and the ways in which they're designed. Here's the first step to building our inclusive society.
