Events for designers from all demographics
First and foremost, Apogee is about inclusion. This means being self-aware of biases in diversity and gender norms, while making conscious choices of how we behave.

Guiding Principles
Simplify ideas, not people
- Be critical of ideas while supporting those who generate them
- Don't use ad-hominem to win over your stakeholder
- Drive inclusion by facilitating design thinking
Accessibility over consistency
- Ensure that events have facilities for persons of all gender identities
- Provide assistance for those who require it
- Actively source speakers and workshops that support diversity
Observe first
- Build empathy through observation of your user's problem
- Fall in love with the problem you want to solve
- Treat design problems as experiments
