Show notes
Through his own tragic experience after the death of his young daughter Rebecca to cancer, Eric Meyer explains to us how the ideal outcome we design for isn’t the only outcome. We need to use our design skills to humanise the web.
We ask how we can engage our compassion, create inclusive designs and make others aware of the consequences of being too focused on the ideal scenario.
