Build your understanding of the basics of inclusive design with our robust learning guide. Available in two formats: an interactive website and a 40-page eBook.
This guide is the result of 200+ volunteer hours of hard work and passion. To access the guide, we ask for a voluntary donation to support and sustain our equity-centered efforts.
This guide was written, designed and developed by Inclusive Design Jam founder Sandra Camacho (She/Her) with support of community members. This was a volunteer inclusive design project spanning 200+ hours between January and March 2023.
We are a community of practice and training academy for inclusive design founded in 2022. Our mission is to make access and use of products, services and environments equal to all.
We operate as a volunteer-led Slack community under a grassroots model and a training academy under a social enterprise model. As we've only launched our Academy, we rely on donations and volunteers to keep our work sustainable.
