Article by Nadia Roumani
Integrating Co-designers with Lived Experience
  • The author talks about how the Stanford d.school’s Designing for Social Systems Program decided to take a different approach to workshopping — a co-design approach.
  • The author shares advice for adopting this approach:
    • Establish practices to include co-designers with lived experience
    • Use a virtual format as it allows for remote collaboration and broader reach
    • Lay the groundwork well in advance
    • Be flexible with your process, tools, and timing
    • Work with partners with deep ties in communities to engage potential co-designers with lived experience
    • Provide an honorarium for co-designers’ time and expertise
    • Ensure other design team members are aware of power dynamics and biases
    • Put the challenge into historical context
  • The article also covers reflections from other сo-designing сommunity members on their experience and how social sector leaders reflect on collaborating with co-designers.
