At Made by Boto®, we believe design isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about belonging. This year’s QIP Mardi Gras event was a vivid reminder of how space, language, and symbols shape people’s sense of being seen and respected.
We were honoured to showcase our QIP x MBB® Pride Collection and capture a series of short video interviews with community members, each offering personal reflections on what inclusive signage means to them — and how even small changes in design can have profound effects.
Why it matters
The QIP Mardi Gras event was more than a celebration; it was a call to action. It showed how inclusive design can shift culture from performative gestures to lived belonging. Whether it’s a door plate, a directional arrow, or a digital display, every detail communicates: Do you belong here? Are you safe? Were you considered?
At Made by Boto®, we’re proud to collaborate with communities like QIP to co-create signage systems that embody dignity, visibility, and care. Events like Mardi Gras remind us that inclusion isn’t just a principle — it’s a practice, shaped by design choices we make every day.
