Equity Beats: An intentional system of reflections woven into the design process creating space for equity.
Time: Jan 2021- Mar 2021
What I did:
• Conducted interviews with 2 Amazon design directors, 2 Amazon UX managers, and 2 IBM ethic designers to discover problem space.
• Conducted a literature review and identified a suitable theory for further development
• Transformed the chosen theory into design artifacts
• Designed and prototyped the final website, and built 5 website pages
What is a Equity Beat?

The Equity Beat Sound System makes equity the center stage at key moments during the design process By intentionally reframing design as a collaborative concert with "jam sessions", rather than a competitive marathon we "sprint" to complete.
Grounded in Critical Race Theory, The Equity Beats Sound System is still deadline conscious but creates brave spaces over harsh finish lines. It allows teams time to explore and discover with equity center stage.
