It was a pleasure hosting "Design for wellbeing: Building the positive corner of the internet at Pinterest" on Monday as part of San Francisco Design Week. Larkin Brown and Minnie Bredouw shared how, at Pinterest, we prioritize “designing the good in” rather than simply “keeping the bad out.” It was so inspiring to see a sold-out crowd interested in discovering ways design can help improve wellbeing rather than deplete it. https://lnkd.in/e94GbyvN

Visual search just took another leap forward on Pinterest, with new features that will let you get inspiration from every part of an image or idea, so you can search in the most human, intuitive, and personal way possible. Even better: it allows you to escape the algorithmic average, so your Pinterest experience is about you, not everyone else.  Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g6vxqCzm

This #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay, Dana Cho, VP of Design and Executive Sponsor for PinAble, shares the importance of building for accessibility and our commitment to bringing inspiration to everyone. "I first came across the concept of Universal Design when I was training as an architect. I was inspired by the idea that designing a digital experience or the built environment for diverse needs and abilities should be a fundamental condition of 'good design.' An estimated 15% of the world’s population live with a disability of some kind. Designing for accessibility and inclusion is not just the right thing to do; it’s essential for any business hoping to have an impact at scale. I’m privileged to support Pinterest’s PinAble community as the group's Executive Sponsor. PinAble plays a vital role in advocating for accessibility in our workplace and our product for people with all abilities, including our employees and users. On this Global Accessibility Awareness Day, I am inspired by PinAble’s mission to build an inclusive and accessible community where everyone, regardless of ability, can find inspiration to create a life they love." 

This #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay, we’re sharing resources for making web accessibility a foundational principle in your work from Cintia Romero. “Designing with accessibility at the core is more than just using a set of guidelines; it's a commitment to creating a better, more inclusive digital world for everyone.” https://lnkd.in/eCq9xu36

It is inevitable in design teams: as the product scales, there are surfaces that require more complex collaboration. Discover how our Closeup team developed a warm, supportive process for collaboration that guides teams while fostering creativity. https://lnkd.in/eN9napty

Today, Pinterest is introducing labels for image Pins that are generated or modified using GenAI. We’re also testing new tools for our users to manage their experience with GenAI content. This is a direct response to what we’re hearing loud and clear from our users: they want to be able to make more informed choices about the content they see.  When people come to Pinterest, we want them to encounter quality content that makes their unique journey of personalized visual discovery better – and we believe that GenAI, when thoughtfully implemented, can contribute to more creativity, inspiration, and action for our users.  Giving users more transparency and control of the content they see is an important part of that.  Check out more about what we’re doing here: https://lnkd.in/ecGG33p4
