This fireside aims to inspire and empower, for that is how we want to approach inclusive design. With an estimated 1.3 billion people living with disabilities worldwide – ‘the world’s largest minority’ according to the World Health Organization – there is a long way to go for the Disabled community to feel that their voice is being heard. Join the conversation between activist and founder of the Valuable 500, Caroline Casey, and Saffron’s Creative Director, Craig Matchett, hosted by AIGA’s Director of Learning and Programs, Lee-Sean Huang. Learn about designing platforms that put marginalized talent and audiences at the center of the conversation and, in turn, are galvanizing the creative potential of the world’s leading industries. The Valuable 500, created by Casey, is a collective of the top 500 CEOs and their companies working together to accelerate disability inclusion and representation. Saffron has collaborated with the Valuable 500 to bring its mission and platform to life through bold and inclusive design experiences that insist on a more creative way of thinking about accessibility. This fireside chat will show how accessible design can mean bold business design. By breaking away from a marginal requirements mindset, it can inspire better creativity. From color to typeface to voice, photography, and illustration to design layout and digital products, we’ll explore how design can listen to, authentically collaborate with, tenaciously represent, and hero the diverse voices of people with disabilities.

The three key takeaways from this panel discussion will be:
● What barrier-free design looks like and how to achieve this
● How design can give a voice to the Disabled community
● How design that puts the margin at the center provokes better creativity

Participants: Caroline Casey, Founder & Creator, The Valuable 500 Craig Matchett, Creative Director, Saffron Brand Consultants Host: Lee-Sean Huang, Director of Learning and Programs, AIGA
