RAMSEY FORD HAS PRACTICED DESIGN FROM SEEMINGLY EVERY PERSPECTIVE: AS AN AWARD-WINNING PRODUCT DESIGNER, A DESIGN PROFESSOR, A MAKER AND AN ENTREPRENEUR.
His design background gave him a unique perspective for solving complex problems and his passion for social justice inspired his Masters thesis on what designers could learn from community organising. This intersection of design and social justice was the start of Design Impact’s founding idea of embedded design – deeply engaging design as a change process in organisations and communities.
Ramsey continues to advance the conversation on inclusive design through workshops and speaking engagements such as the Public Interest Design Institute, IDSA International, and Unite for Sight Global Health and Innovation Conference. Ramsey regularly shares his perspective on social design through outlets like Design Observer, FastCompany, Innovations and Product Design Hub. His work has also been published in the Public Interest Design Practice Guidebook and Leap Dialogues.
