Structured around the six official commitments of the AIGA Design Educators Community Value Design Education Pledge, this book offers designers and educators a thoughtful framework for integrating inclusion, equity, and justice into every stage of their creative process.
Each chapter centers on one of the six core values—anti-racism, historical awareness, knowledge-sharing, impact, community, and wellbeing—and features contributors from across the design world. These diverse voices share tools, real-world case studies, and provocative prompts that invite reflection and inspire action.
Inside, readers will find:
Six chapters based on AIGA’s official values commitments, each offering actionable insights
Contributions from respected designers and educators, each bringing a unique perspective and experience
Case studies and real-world applications that show inclusive design in action
Guidance for teams and studios looking to integrate values into hiring, collaboration, and client work
A practical framework for inclusive creativity, rooted in the real challenges of contemporary design
This book is a hands-on resource for individual creatives, design educators, and teams who want to align their design practice with their values.
