From RVA Design Group:
“The design industry has quickly become attractive, yet it’s still a nebulous field to navigate with high barriers and very low diversity.
RVA Design Group is committed to increasing the accessibility of design and technology to the Richmond community.
With the effects of racial and social injustices and a looming pandemic, we are experiencing a time of uncertainty where we finally recognize something that has been missing.”
The field of design in general, but especially UX/UI design, has long suffered from the lack of diversity within the field. This ends up impacting the public in a very real way, when only a narrow sliver of the population, with its own perspective on the world, is tasked with designing 99% of the interfaces, apps, and digital devices that we rely on.
Is that narrow perspective able to truly empathize with the thoughts and needs of the users that are actually using these technologies?
As our lives become increasingly connected and dependent on user interfaces, the question is clear…do you want to program or be programmed?
