Show Notes
It’s been a while but this is our first remote episode, where we were in three different states. On this one, we spoke to Monique Kneepkens, Creative Director at Carbon Creative. A Brisbane studio devoted to making an impact in social change.
We speak all about what it means to ‘do good’ and how they work with their clients. We look at shining a spotlight on indigenous artists and designers and how Australians can get more in touch with the real history of this beautiful island.
So prepare yourself from some slightly delayed laughter (as the stream catches up) and a difference in the microphone sound — thank you to Monique for being so patient.
Big thanks as always to our amazing partner Streamtime for keeping us going through tough times. Try Streamtime: https://streamtime.net

In the final episode of our Inclusive Design mini-series, we're joined by Anita Forte and Cristina Douglas, two creative directors who blend craft, research and strategic insight to create more inclusive experiences. Cristina has been making things professionally since 2008. She believes that creativity can’t be constrained by discipline. She writes, develops strategy, and makes brands meaningful. Anita brings deep expertise across product design, branding, and UX/UI in consumer goods and tech industries. Together, they take us inside their approach to inclusive design: testing early and often, understanding user needs and accessibility. We touch on their work at R/GA, developing generative AI for interface design, the ethics and how they see it fitting into and shifting the design process. A huge thank you to Anita and Cristina for such an open and insightful conversation 💬
