Women-Centric Design: An Introductory Workshop

About the Workshop

At the heart of this workshop is the central question: how might we truly serve women?

Chances are that many of us regularly use, and build so-called “gender-neutral” experiences that often overlook key needs of women. This is because today’s design, strategy and innovation methodologies exclude women: under the guise of being gender-neutral, the way we work today often produce “one-size-fits-men” outcomes. In this workshop, we introduce practitioners to the foundational tools from our Women-Centric Design toolkit.

__ LEARNING: Applicable key themes to evaluate and re-design products and services with a women-centric lens.

__APPLICATION: Participants work in small groups to evaluate product and service experiences, applying their learnings right away.
