Designing with Care: A Conversation on Trauma Informed Design

The IIDA SoCal EDI Sector recently brought together members across San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles for a timely and impactful discussion on Trauma Informed Design — an essential pillar of Inclusive Design.

Dr. Lauren Gant, Senior Ergonomics and Wellness Strategist at HNI Corporation, shared insights on the relationship between trauma and workplace experience, emphasizing the powerful role physical space plays in overall wellbeing.

Her insights reinforced the responsibility designers carry in shaping environments that acknowledge lived experiences and promote holistic wellbeing.
