Co-Design as Collaborative Ways of Being, Relating, and Making Reflection Guide
Denise Shanté Brown, Healthy Teen Network
As defined by Denise Shanté Brown, co-design is the weaving of liberatory, collaborative ways of being, relating, and making.
Co-design is a practice that is always led by the lived experience and abundant creativity of those who are most underrepresented and those who are (or will be) directly impacted by the design.
This guide walks you through a series of reflections after reading, watching, and listening to suggested materials. Use this guide to learn more about co-designing with those who are most impacted by our designs.
