Traditionally, designs are catered to specific cases and stretched towards broader inclusivity. However, tackling inclusivity in existing concepts often falls short. Instead, integrating it into the core of product design ignites innovation and business growth. Crafting inclusive strategies requires deliberate effort fueled by empathy. Understanding user pain points is the first step in any design thinking process. Therefore, innovators must assemble a team with the proper heart and approach. Numerous institutions and businesses have transformed lives by prioritizing inclusivity, attracting previously excluded audiences, and reaping the rewards.
