Colouring On Walls

This week we colour our walls with a discussion about Inclusive Design with our guest, Vishakha, a senior user experience (UX) designer. We explore how the experience of user interface design can be made more inclusive to cater to the needs of people with a wider range of abilities. We also peek into the experiences at the workplace of the designers and discuss how inclusive their environment is. Join us for a fun conversation spanning across 3 time zones between 3 designers of 3 different fields who fuel their creativity with constraints.

In this episode, our dear friend Shivani joins us as we explore the power of narratives and its gendered aspirations through Indian mythology. We break the bards with discussions on how history, religion, and mythology form a unique interlinked aspect of our culture and inform politics and practices in the present times.

In conversation with our first guest, Niharika, we not only colour our walls but also learn to colour our plates by taking a dive into the food system, its environmental impacts, exploring our relationship with food and learning how to become conscious consumers.Check out the raisin meditation link for a soulful dining experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CZEEYMXr8Q&ab_channel=PalouseMindfulness
