It's me, Sam! My book Inclusive Design Communities Rosemary parmesan cookies I made

Hi, I’m Sameera. I’m a design leader, speaker, and author based in Austin.

I lead Design and Research at Netlify and wrote the book Inclusive Design Communities. I’m always thinking about community, puns, and food.

Inclusive Design Communities

A note on redesign: This book is now redesigned due to reaqcuiring publishing rights. If you own a previous copy of the book, the content remains the same.

After observing and experiencing the spaces we exist as designers, I wrote a book with actions we can take—at any level of experience—to make the design and tech community more welcoming to all.

Available in print format. Digital format coming soon.
