XXEquals is the UK’s first female-led product design initiative, developing projects for women across the consumer, industrial and medical markets.
Launched by Bristol-based agency Kinneir Dufort (KD), the team seeks to break new ground in the product design industry and hopes to pave the way for young women interested in careers in product and industrial design.
