Thank you, everyone, for your incredible support of RCL. From IDL to RCL - your support has meant the world to us! We’re so excited to continue to grow this amazing community in 2023. For now, here’s a recap of some 2022 RCL highlights.
We evolved from IDL to RCL!
We launched this amazing community in 2021 as Inclusion Design Lab on a mission to make Inclusive Design, Accessibility, and other related topics the standard in design and not niche topics. Since we launching and thanks to the overwhelming support from the community, we quickly realized there was an opportunity for us to expand our reach and mission. That's why we relaunched as Rita Creative Lab. To learn more about our evolution, click here to read our relaunch blog post.

Our goal was to hit 1,000 Discord members in 2022 - and we did! Can we double that in 2023? :)
150+ seminar registrations!
Including attendees from ALL over the world! Special shoutout to those who attended more than one seminar in 2022! And thank you everyone for your patience as we experimented A LOT with our monthly seminars this year, sometimes taking breaks to try out different approaches and methods. Expect a BIG relaunch of RCL Seminars in 2023!
