Joining me today is Nani Vishwanath, Senior Strategist of Inclusive Design at REI Co-op, illuminating how inclusive design principles create better products and experiences for everyone. Nani is also a Consultant with Courage Collective, a workplace culture consultancy.

In this episode, we discuss Nani's career trajectory from college studying to be an orthodontist, to working in higher education, and ultimately her work in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion space. We discuss how DEI came to be, it's business function and what jobs exist, and how it ultimately drives more productive business.
