[Online] Designing For The Ten Percent: How To Unbias Your Designs
Details
Our society, and the people in it, have biases. And because design is people-centric, it can also have biases. In this talk, join us as Jasmine Orange, UX Designer for Ernst & Young's Global Market team, discusses what biases in design look like and what the consequences can be when someone doesn't recognize that bias can greatly change your design process and outcome: From lack of usability to even potential harm. We will talk about how these "edge cases" or "10% restraints" mentioned above are more common than we even realize. We will also discuss what happens when designers remove those biases and what great good can be done when designing for the 10%.
