AIGA Boston Book Group: Mismatch

The book group returns with a discussion of Kat Holmes's important book, Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design, challenging our assumptions about the people around us, and demonstrating how inclusive practices can lead to better design for everyone.

The book is available in hardcover at bookstores and libraries.

The AIGA Boston Book Group meets every other month at the Katherine Small Gallery in Somerville. Read and discuss books on design with fellow members of the Boston design community.
