Design Can is a non-profit campaign, community and resource platform calling for the design industry to be representative of the world it serves.
An industry that fails to reflect the people it serves will quickly become irrelevant. How can we meet the needs of users with a blinkered perspective? How can we inspire the next generation of designers without role models to represent them? How can design continue to be a source of world-changing ideas?
We connect individuals and organisations who are looking to be more inclusive.
Since 2019, we have built an audience of over 10,000 creative people from currently underrepresented backgrounds, brought about 90 mentoring relationships, trained 40 industry leaders in inclusive behaviours, and worked with major brands and institutions including Wellcome Collection, V&A, Design Museum, Kickstarter and Hem, diversifying their ecosystem and creating partnerships for impact.
