Abstract
I believe the likability factor is creating a barrier to entry, affecting diversity in the field—and overall design outcomes are suffering.
This provocative opinion piece explores the topic of likability, how it creates barriers for those trying to break into design, and strategies for overcoming the bias it engenders.
