Eva PenzeyMoog is a user experience and safety designer and founder of The Inclusive Safety Project. Before joining the tech field, she worked in the nonprofit space and volunteered as a domestic violence educator and rape crisis counselor. Her safety design work brings together her expertise in domestic violence and tech, helping technologists understand how their creations facilitate interpersonal harm and how to prevent it through intentionally prioritizing the most vulnerable users. She works to make designing for safety the norm and to inspire fellow technologists to transform the tech industry into one that prioritizes safety, justice, and compassion.
Design for Safety is essential reading for ethical design. It provides a powerful rationale for technologists to consider their role in enabling or preventing abuse and domestic violence through everyday tech. -MOLLY DRAGIEWICZ Associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at Griffith University This is, frankly, an important book-not only for developers of technology, but for anyone interested in victim advocacy and support. Eva expertly outlines the technical threat and its impact on users, while offering practical approaches toward improving both safety and usability. -CHRIS COX Director of Operation Safe Escape Whatever you're making, it's not as safe as you think. Fortunately, Eva PenzyMoog is here to guide you through the process of making your work safer for your users and for the world at large with this clear and accessible book. I know I'll return to it, and cite it, for years to come. -ERIC MEYER Author of Design for Real Life
