The Power of Diversity In Design

Hosted by IxDA Toronto

Join us as we celebrate the inaugural "World Interaction Design Day" with a thought-provoking keynote and panel discussion, alongside drinks, canapés, and conversation. We will take this celebration as an opportunity to challenge ourselves to think more deeply about the role of diversity in driving great design and how design and designers can be more inclusive of those whose backgrounds, experiences, and mental models differ from their own.

Join us for drinks, appetizers, a presentation followed by a panel discussion.

Keynote Speaker: Farai Madzima

Farai has designed banking apps used every day by people across Africa.
Currently, he's a UX Lead at Shopify in Ottawa. Previously, Farai led Standard Bank South Africa's team of designers and researchers in Johannesburg. Farai organizes Pixel Up! conferences and meetups in South Africa to connect African designers and developers in with their peers in the rest of the world.
