The trill of a flute. The rumble of a timpani. The pluck of a violin. The sharp tap of a baton. A brief silence, followed by the rippling wave of that first note.
Awe-inspiring symphonies come from the beauty of each instrument in harmony. It's no small feat to get dozens of musicians together to all play their parts from the same score.
The same goes for us—all of us—working together to transform a culture, a company, and an entire industry. That's the journey we're on.
Together, as one.

As we aspire to make Redwood the most inclusive design system on the planet, we know it takes more than one investigation, one retrospection, one introspection, or one team called to action. Everything we do has to be inclusive.
That includes the customers and the cultures we represent in our designs. Who we choose to enable with our designs. Who we partner with to bring those designs to life. And who we are—the selves we bring to work.
The Redwood Design System already works hard to represent the diversity of its customers and the cultures in its visual expression. Visual expressiveness doesn't have to compromise accessibility, however. Inclusion can and must enable everyone, including those with a variety of abilities, visible or hidden. In this talk we share:

This is a story of how the CX Sales design team transformed an underperforming dashboard with Clarity of Purpose. One design had good intentions, but usage metrics pointed to a different reality. The other design also had the best of intentions, but was purposefully grounded on a clear understanding of the User Goals it aims to serve. Is there a difference? Come see for yourself.
The majority of this session will focus on showcasing, through an example, how a design transformed with Clarity of Purpose. Expect a 5-min recap of User Goals and the fundamentals of Clarity of Purpose, and take home a practical checklist to help you turbocharge your own User Goals to the next level.
