Description

Future-proof your Career with GDC Connect: A New Professional Development Program for GDC BC. Join us at our new workshops.

What is GDC Connect? Last year, we have a series of workshops focus on fundamental of user experience design (UX), information architecture (IA), and user interface design (UI). Attendees included new graduates who are seeking work in the UX field and those who have been in the industry for 3-5 years, and who are looking to crossover into new roles.

As the design profession evolves, the multiple career paths in our industry present a dizzying array of options.

Format of our workshop will be:

  • Register at 9:45am

  • Opening presentation

  • Networking and pairing into groups

  • Hands-on activities


Designing for inclusivity

How do ability, culture, identity, and environment influence the way your designs are experienced? Most people don’t fit into an “average” mold and yet, as designers, we still believe we have to design for the mythical “average” user. Instead, we must be more deliberate about respectfully including underrepresented groups into our process.

This workshop will introduce the mindset of inclusive design. Together, we’ll explore the impact of our biases, exclusionary design practices, strategies for including and engaging with underrepresented groups, and tactical considerations for imagery and language.
