I strongly encourage folks to join this webinar featuring María Alejandra Sandoval Avila and Sandra Waihuini, and hear more about Dalberg Design’s journey towards community-centred design! My longer reflection is below, but please join the webinar to hear Male and Sandra - who have both been at the forefront of this work - share their experiences. Over the last 5 years Dalberg Design has been exploring what it means to re-orient our practice to one that is community-centred. This shift is grounded in our shared belief that the design work we collaborate on is stronger when it is owned by the communities it seeks to address. Community members are not only best placed to answer questions about their experiences and co-design solutions, but they are also best placed to shape those questions and indeed shape the design brief based on their deep understanding of their local context. ⭐ Community members know how to get to a deeper level of “why” because they know what is interesting vs common-place. ⭐ Community members know who to speak to because they know who is living the average experience vs the anomalies (including the positive deviants). ⭐ Community members know when a proposed solution might be a miss because they have seen solutions come and go and can push when things need deeper work and thought. So we begun this endeavour of de-centring our teams and our work and shifting power to communities (their teams and their work). It has been a humbling experience that has often led us to re-evaluate our capabilities and develop a more grounded approach. We moved away from the pressure to find a new, definitive way of doing design and instead focused on incremental changes and experimentation. These allowed us to accept that there is no single answer, but principles, considerations, and questions we could explore in each context. We moved our needle By Being. ❓ Asking questions: Encouraging open dialogue within projects, listening actively, and avoiding making assumptions about what the communities we work with need. 🤔 Being reflective: Regularly evaluating our progress, identifying areas for improvement, and adapting our approach based on feedback from the community. We moved our needle By Doing. 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️ Walking the talk (within our constraints): Engaging community members, establishing advisory councils, collaborating intentionally, supporting and integrating community organizations that are specialists in the space and have a historical presence in the community, playing back insights in the field, being more intentional about how we compensate community members for their time, and setting up more formal research protocols with even tighter and more transparent data protection norms, among other changes. I would love to hear more about how other practitioners have been evolving their practices! #communitycentred #design
As the design practice evolves, our role as designers must also evolve. However, as Adam Nocek and Tony Fry mentioned in their book Design in Crisis, this process cannot become a design project. This was one of our main learnings while shifting our Design practice at Dalberg towards a more Community-Centered Design one. Please join Sandra Waihuini and me to learn more about our not-so-glamorous process to get there and our co-speakers Cheryl Lim Cornago Manju Catherine Pothen Nupoor Rajkumar and Jervenne Teo to learn more about their own design practices at the Exploring Subsets of Design webinar hosted by HCDExchange next Tuesday, April 30th. Thank you Liz Royea (McNeil) for inviting us to tell our story!
