Product designers Amy Findeiss and Fernanda Alcocer discuss how the role of designers keeps shifting. It is particularly challenging in the context of social justice where our role is to empower and inspire users to take action. Here they share their 4 design learnings as principles put into practice for our award-winning responsive web app 'Get Compensation!' that helps survivors of domestic violence understand the financial compensation options available to them. Survivors of domestic violence are eligible for financial compensation for the harm they have suffered. This tool is designed to help you understand your options and how to pursue them. Take the quiz to assess what matters most to you and build awareness about your compensation options. https://compensation-quiz.freefrom.org/ http://www.thoughtworks.com/ Join ThoughtWorks: https://www.thoughtworks.com/careers
