Speaking & Press
Since 2018, Bekah has built a community of POC designers in Seattle and fostered courageously candid conversations surrounding the intersectionality of Blackness and Design.
Pulling from her own experience, as a Black woman designer in tech, she couples that background with research she has conducted as a Masters student at the University of Washington where her focus area is Diversity within Design.
