How might we build a more inclusive practice that goes beyond designing ‘for' and ‘with’ people to systematically cultivating talent from local communities that improve design outcomes for all. This talk will bring in perspectives from Aika Matemu, who leads Dalberg’s design studio in Kenya (and previously built the Africa based design team for Medic Mobile) and Priti Rao, who leads our design studio in Mumbai (and formerly served as head of research for IDEO India) along with founder, Robert Fabricant who formerly led frog’s impact efforts and expansion into Africa and Asia.
