Diversity versus inclusivity: do we understand the differences?
Design experts met at Clerkenwell Design Week to look at the nuances of diversity and inclusion, how to embrace them and why they make business sense.
“Designing for diversity can be counterintuitively a bit of an exclusive process because you’re looking to speak to a certain demographic. Inclusivity however is when you seek to speak to everyone. It’s like on GOV.UK – their design thinking has to cater to everyone,” says Sēon Creative founder and director Sarah Malik.
Malik is speaking on a panel at Clerkenwell Design Week and is joined by interior designer, lecturer and mentor Simon Hamilton, barrister and diversity and inclusion consultant, Morag Ofili, and marketing specialist Daniel Peters.
