from The Skin Deep Diaries Hosted by Avani Pandey

I went quiet for a reason. College apps had me thinking hard about identity, design, and who I’m becoming—and now I’m heading to NYU for Interactive Media Arts.

In this episode, I unpack how everything—from beauty standards to school systems, tech, and healthcare—is often designed for a “default” person… and what happens when you’re not that person. More importantly, I’m asking: who gets left out—and what would it look like to design for them first?
