Creating spaces that connect and amplify women-identifying and non-binary industrial designers!
关于我们
As a rapidly expanding innovation hub, Seattle is home to a growing community of industrial designers. With this amplification of design voices in our city, we believe that representation within the profession is essential to create inclusive products for diverse humans. Women In Design Seattle exists to foster relationships and opportunities in our local community. We aim to create mentorship and leadership programs, spotlight the achievements of women and gender non-conforming inviduals, engage with the Seattle creative community at large and with other local organizations to support minorities in our industry. As peers in a tight-knit field, we design products that impact countless lives globally. With that, there is a responsibility to create spaces to uplift one another so that the design community can expand it’s mentality of inclusion and forward thinking, both in the profession and the culture.

In our new episode, we feature Dr. Glover, an educator, leading researcher on sexual pleasure and access for people with disabilities, and a designer who has been innovating in the sex toy industry for over three decades. She is a wealth of knowledge taking us through the history of women with “hysteria”, to sex toys dictated by the porn industry, to today where the internet has enabled people to find their niche customers and the sex toy market has grown to imagine options far beyond phallic representative dildos. https://lnkd.in/gDZuCi3B Originally a metal worker, Dr. Glover transitioned into industrial design after recognizing a significant gap in the market for well-researched, thoughtfully designed sex toys. She discusses how the industry has long overlooked this need and how the landscape might have been different if companies like Braun or Apple had engaged with it. Our conversation explores how societal discomfort and restrictive attitudes toward sexuality, women, the queer community, and people with disabilities have hindered the development of products that meet their needs, and how much we stand to gain by addressing these gaps. We want to hear from you: What design projects changed your perspective or motivated you to start a new project? #industrialdesign?#wearables?#podcast?#womenindesign?#diversity
