Welcomed by Design

This is the supplement recording for our third episode with Ellen Lupton. Consider this a bonus level of content, where members of the podcast team (and this episode's guest host!) debrief on our favorite parts, do a fact check of the episode's conversation, and define some tactile terms that got dropped in the episode. We also take a moment to put our own ocularcentrism in check. Listen until the end, and you may even unlock some secret information…

On this episode of Welcomed by Design, we talk with Ellen Lupton, a design powerhouse who wears many hats in the world of design (and has the portfolio of work to show for it). We talk about the way design often privileges the eye, how multisensory design challenges this prioritization, and how accessibility in new spaces can be a bit experimental. We even work through some design prompts to apply multisensory design in real time (including one about our vampiric friend Dracula).

On this episode of Welcomed by Design, we talk with Tamara Morgan, Adam El-Sawaf, and Eric Gottshall from the Adaptive Design Association (ADA). We discuss how cardboard helps democratize the adaptive design process, how the custom versus universal design debate has no right answer, and how the language around co-design doesn't have to be so polar around "with" versus "for." Plus, we get into how design with disability doesn't always have to be so sterile or clinical. Fun colors and playful designs are welcome!

(Note: the team was calling in from their studio, which has affected the sound quality of the interview. The audio was edited to be as clear as possible, but given the open nature of their work environment, some background noise was unavoidable. Our transcript is linked below for additional clarity if needed.)

For our very first episode, we talk with Reginé Gilbert. She is a designer, educator, and author of the book Inclusive Design for a Digital World: Designing with Accessibility in Mind. We discuss how accessibility is more than a matter of legal compliance, how accessible design serves everyone in the long run, and how designers can get started with accessibility even in the student phase of their careers. There may even be a little bit of raging against autoplay.
