In this conversation, Philip talks to Boyuan Gao and Jahan Mantin, the co-founders of Project Inkblot a design education consultancy that partners with companies to build equitable products, services, and content. They discuss their origin story, what motivates them to re-think design, how they built their Design for Diversity (D4D) model and why designing “with” rather than “for” is a revolutionary act.
