Design Questions

  • How might we create a way for Black Women working in The Alliance to address, process, and mitigate workplace harm from the past, present and future?

  • How might we design an experience for Black Women in The Alliance to experience cared for, supported, and valued for their contributions and labor?

The Experience

We designed and hosted a rapid  liberatory design thinking cycle made of 6 virtual sessions for a core design team within a weeks’ time in order to leverage momentum and relationships to go deep into this important problem.

The Deliverables and Outcomes

  • A nuanced understanding of the problem and it’s contributing factors

  • Commitements from those in power to enact change

  • A new way of working on and seeing a problem

  • Several actionable prototypes 

  • Immersive liberatory design experience
