Rebecca Brooker: Foster inclusivity by data-driven design and research

In today’s episode, I speak with Rebecca Brooker. Rebecca is a
queer woman of color born in Trinidad + Tobago and currently
based in Buenos Aires. She is the co-founder of Queer Design
Club, the global online community for LGBTQ+ designers where she
spearheads the Queer Design Count which is the first and only
survey of LGBTQ+ people in design. She’s an art director at Ghost
Note Agency and designs across branding, print, and
digital.

We dive into learning and understanding the challenges of queer
designers in the industry, how data and research can inform
inclusive and equity driven design, what community efforts can
foster social awareness and collaboration among LGBTQ+ designers,
and tactical ways to spark authentic conversations around
inclusivity and creating safe spaces for all.
