Our History
The Inclusive Design Jam was founded by Sandra Camacho aka Sandra By Design (she/her), an independent inclusive design strategist and educator based in Paris, France. For years, she had a vision to create a global community anchored in learning that opened up "inclusive design" to non-professional designers and that was truly decentralized. The community finally came into to life in May 2022 with the support of the inaugural working group.
