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.
