5 diversity in design
Last year Tina Shoulders of Laidback Home created an awesome guide highlighting people of color in the design industry. As a veteran in the design world, Tina has seen the success of many of her peers and wanted to highlight minority designers to encourage others to follow their dreams to a career in design. Being that it's the first weekend of Black History Month, take a few moments to read these great profiles of people of color creating amazing design.

ReplyDeleteI've seen her book before and love it. I wonder sometimes does anyone notice the lack there of?
ReplyDelete@dayka - a lot of these designers I'd never heard of! such a great guide.
ReplyDelete@tonia - I definitely notice the absence in the many many online mags popping up :-/
I am a lover of all people, but it is good to know that one of your own is penetrating a field that can be seen as dominated by others. Its the same way with women. It is excited to see women doing things in a field that is often dominated by men. All in all I am excited to see diversity in every aspect of every field.
