CultureEncode helps industry grow its commitments to equity, diversity and inclusion. In thinking through the standpoints of gender, ethnicity, race, ability, background and place, we find ways to build diverse communities into the global digital landscape. Researching Organizational, Market and User CulturesWe study your organization, project, campaign, and UX/market paradigms to understand how you can increase inclusion, diversity and global reach. With twelve years' award-winning research, teaching and publishing on global and minoritized digital cultures, CultureEncode is prepared to deep dive. Assessing Possibilities for GrowthWe assess how your organization, campaign, or platform can most efficiently grow diversity and inclusivity toward targeted goals. Drawing from a background in sociology, intercultural communication, and gender and ethnic studies, we custom-tailor recommendations for growth and communicate them through multimedia presentations, data visualization and digital storytelling.Training TeamsWe educate leadership, teams, and makers to approach their work from a global, rigorously inclusive perspective. We workshop recruiting and UX practices to transform workplaces and design thinking. We offer custom-tailored in-house training sessions, webinars, and online courses to foster an inclusive workplace and spark design and marketing innovation. We are a go-to source for solving complicated diversity questions in the workplace and in the public arena and offer executive and management coaching on call.Since 2005, digital anthropologist Ali Colleen Neff, Ph.D. has been studying the ways global and marginalized communities use, make, and circulate digital things. She is passionate about her research on the "digital divide": the barrier that keeps marginalized populations from accessing the hardware, software, connectivity and training they need to participate in the digital landscape.
