Well hey there, welcome to Inkblot! We are a social enterprise that equips people to become co-designers of an equitable world using our framework, Inkblot Design™.
We design programs and services that uniquely support BIPOC designers and equity aspiring leaders committed to designing equitable products, services and content.
1. INKubator
Our fellowship program provides Black, Indigenous, and POC creators with practices, mindsets, space and abundance to activate their leadership, ideas and projects for our collective well being.
2. Equity programs
Our cohort-learning programs, workshops and products develop equity-aspiring leaders writing the future of media, tech and culture, to create a legion of evangelists for equity design.
We’ve built and designed equity programs for over a decade. We know it can be discouraging to not see the progress and change at the rate we know it needs to happen. So, what has inspired us through the highs and lows? Quite simply, it’s been our community of aspiring equity designers!
The conversations we’ve had, resources we’ve shared, the practices we’ve applied, the tears we’ve cried and the laughter we’ve had has made us realize we’re not alone! And in fact, there are many, many people passionate about shifting the paradigm and creating an equitable future.
Our work is rooted in centering and bringing forth the wisdom and expertise of communities whose brilliant visions have been ignored or dismissed, and whose leadership is vital for our continued existence.
We know when we transform ourselves, what we design and who we design with – we have the capacity to transform the world.
We build, design and lead transformational virtual and IRL experiences to develop equity designers - leaders - to usher us into a future for all. Our programs are designed to be accessible, communal, and to amplify participants’ learning and development.
We’ve worked with dozens of the world’s biggest tech and media companies (facilitating and coaching design, product, marketing, strategy and program teams) and BIPOC design communities sharing our Inkblot Design™ practices to support strategic equity-design competencies, but more importantly, the development of intuitive, and empathetic equity designers in work and life.
Our Inkblot Design™ framework (formerly known as D4D) is a collection of strategic and relational practices that holds us accountable to investigating three critical lenses:
