Kevin G. Bethune is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of dreams . design + life, a think tank for design and innovation. Over a career that spans more than twenty years, he has worked in engineering, business, and design.
"Bethune's book is an essential resource for designers looking to
shake up the industry... The book provides insights for people of
color who want to get ahead in the industry, while also challenging
norms and systemic injustice. Because the righting of these wrongs
demands intersectional collaboration, it's also a resource for
allies. Those who are looking to upend barriers for previously
excluded communities and welcome the innovation new voices bring to
the practice will find helpful actionable items within the writing.
In other words, Reimagining Design is the kind of narrative
the industry is in desperate need of as design and its place in the
world evolves."
-Core77
"At a time of increasing uncertainty, what can we do to solve
ever-changing problems? Designer Kevin Bethune takes on that thorny
issue in his new book, with a view to diversity and inclusion."
