Something as simple as color choices can render a product unusable for millions. These mismatches are the building blocks of exclusion. In \u003ci\u003eMismatch\u003c\/i\u003e, Kat Holmes describes how design can lead to exclusion, and how design can also remedy exclusion. Inclusive design methods--designing objects \u003ci\u003ewith\u003c\/i\u003e rather than \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e excluded users--can create elegant solutions that work well and benefit all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolmes tells stories of pioneers of inclusive design, many of whom were drawn to work on inclusion because of their own experiences of exclusion. A gamer and designer who depends on voice recognition shows Holmes his \"Wall of Exclusion,\" which displays dozens of game controllers that require two hands to operate; an architect shares her firsthand knowledge of how design can fail communities, gleaned from growing up in Detroit's housing projects; an astronomer who began to lose her eyesight adapts a technique called \"sonification\" so she can \"listen\" to the stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigning for inclusion is not a feel-good sideline. Holmes shows how inclusion can be a source of innovation and growth, especially for digital technologies. It can be a catalyst for creativity and a boost for the bottom line as a customer base expands. And each time we remedy a mismatched interaction, we create an opportunity for more people to contribute to society in meaningful ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKat Holmes, named one of \u003ci\u003eFast Company\u003c\/i\u003e's \"Most Creative People in Business\" in 2017, is founder of Mismatch.design, a firm with the mission of advancing inclusive education and resources.
