Inclusive design
Microsoft's Inclusive Design practice operates under the principle of "Nothing About Us, Without Us," designing with the disability community. Through user experience research and insights collected by the community, products and services are created to empower people with disabilities.
This lab is a program dedicated to inclusive design, serving people with disabilities and acting as an expression of Microsoft's commitment to accessibility. It is a space for inclusive gaming and modern life, crafted to encourage designers and engineers to include people with disabilities in their creations. The lab offers introductory tours, collaborative workshops, and inclusive design sprints with teams and studios to inspire and facilitate inclusion in their work.
We’re committed to creating an environment where everyone can come together and be themselves. Our culture is our pride, so throughout the year we run programs and events that put the emphasis on our people, enabling hobbies, beliefs and creative thinking.
