Gender and design

Last week, with the design team, we participated in a debate with a student about the notion of gender in the design practice. We started by asking ourselves how inclusive we are in our deliverables and more broadly in the company.

Some customers already work on gender inclusiveness, but we want to go further by using more inclusive personas, illustrations and pictures in our mockups.

At Antistatique, we already have rules to support gender equality. For instance, the salary scale is identical regardless of gender and we are in the process of implementing inclusive writing for our communication.

We are aware that we still have a lot of work to do to improve on this matter. We took the first steps with an open mind and motivation!

Thank you Émilie for this very interesting debate and good luck on your journey.
