The dilemma is that the composite often fails to reflect how people actually live or experience the world. Those differences can expose where products, services, and systems work well, and where they do not. Design innovation comes from many places. Accessibility should be one of them

Without your audience in the room, your brand is guesswork
A group of experienced executives is discussing how the brand can “connect with Gen Z.” Everyone has a deck and an opinion. But nobody in the room is Gen Z.

But this goes wrong when we allow it to replace conversations. A generation is not a community. A community is not an individual. People born in
