Practice Inclusivity

As we mentioned during class, the idea of bias and assumptions can sometimes permeate our decision making as designers to the extent that we may offend or exclude certain groups of individuals.

There are instantces where it is appropriate to draw out the entirety of the human figure to evoke a sense of empathy from viewers but can be ineffective when the singular human figure does not represent one single individual. How can designers be able to design empathetically but also creatively or is this the case where creativity comes last?
