AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN IN DESIGN
Her Work
DesignExplorr is an education organization that celebrates design by offering activities, consulting services and resources to expose underrepresented youth to design careers. This organization stems from Design Journeys: Strategies for Increasing Diversity in Design Disciplines (2016), by Jacinda Walker which explores diversity in design disciplines and presents fifteen strategic ideas to expose African American and Latino youth to designrelated careers. Jacinda also speaks at many conferences and engagements, such as SF Design Week, IBM Ask, and numerous schools, colleges, and universities. She also hosts and presents at different workshops in various parts of the world—Ohio, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and more. She also volunteers with AIGA and serves as a chair on their Diversity and Inclusion Task Force.
She is available for a phone call, consultation, video conference call, and an in-person meeting via an appointment. She is willing to help when and how she can. You can be a mentee of hers too, just have to add yourself to her list.
