Building and Cultivating Diverse Design Teams
summary
Claims that diversity succeeds here are concrete: design goes from ~8% to >50% women in five years and Dropbox design shows 57 women in senior leadership after targeted recruiting and internal communities. Practical tools include spot Docs with five pre-set evaluation criteria, an external debrief moderator, recruiter alignment, and workshops to surface inclusion barriers. Surprising numbers: 6% of CS grads are Black but ~1% of engineers at big tech are Black; measurement and iterative bias inspection drive hiring and retention changes that work.
