This talk challenges 'growth-default' along with other 'defaults' that inform product and design: masculine default, northern hemisphere default, english defaults etc. It is a call to action to challenge the utility of defaults that inform our work. In this talk, Ruby will draw examples from across the globe and show products moving beyond our current paradigms as well as those stuck in default thinking, while arming you with the tools you need to think differently about product design. It will cover things big and small that we can all do to create better products that align with more inclusive values.

Designing Growth: Human-Centered Solutions for Sustainable African Agriculture
 

In this session, we explore the importance of human-centered design (HCD) and research practices in developing digital solutions for Africa’s agricultural challenges.  By concentrating on agriculture—a sector vital to African economies and global food security—we highlight the necessity of designing solutions that are deeply aware of the local cultural, economic, and infrastructural contexts.

Our exploration will cover the comprehensive processes, methods, and tools essential for developing effective and widely adopted digital innovations. Through real-life examples, we’ll share the challenges faced and lessons learned, providing attendees with a deep dive into the practical aspects of creating impactful solutions.

Our aim is to showcase how these tailored solutions can meet immediate needs while fostering long-term sustainability and reducing environmental impacts.
