As product leaders, our mission is to design and build products that not only serve but also empower a diverse user base. This means thinking beyond the traditional boundaries and ensuring inclusivity is at the core of our development process. But what does this look like in practice?
Building inclusive products requires a multi-faceted approach, encompassing everything from initial design to user feedback and continuous improvement. It starts with understanding the diverse needs of your user base through comprehensive research. This involves engaging with different communities, conducting user interviews, and using data analytics to identify gaps in your current product offerings. It’s not a one-time effort, but an ongoing process.
In our latest podcast episode of the CPO Rising podcast series, hosted by Products That Count Resident CPO Renee Niemi, Pinterest's Chief Product Officer, Sabrina Ellis, discusses her philosophy around building inclusive products and the steps Pinterest is taking to ensure their platform empowers all users. She highlights how Pinterest is leveraging cutting-edge technology like computer vision to present more diverse representations of hair, skin tones, and body types. This not only broadens the appeal of their platform but also ensures users see themselves represented in the content they interact with.
