How do we design services that are inclusive and accessible to a wide variety of users (e.g. people with disabilities, of different ethnical backgrounds, of different genders)? Inclusive design has been extensively researched in product design and architecture, but less has been done in the area of service design. We will, in this conceptual paper, describe and discuss a plurality of perspectives on inclusive service design. The first perspective explores user-centred design and describes it as an umbrella covering a multitude of user groups. The second perspective takes an adaptive systems perspective to manage a variability in users.
The third perspective uses service logics to describe inclusive service design in terms of resource integration. The different perspectives also come with their own tensions. It is concluded that a plurality of perspectives can contribute to a rich understanding of how to approach inclusive and accessible design of services.

She used to work as an interaction designer at Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., LTD and Arcsoft Multimedia Technology (Hangzhou) Co., LTD. Her research area covers interaction design, experience design, service design and inclusive design, with a particular focus on data-driven experience design and inclusive service design for urban residential areas in China. She is currently the director of media and experience design laboratory at the school and has been conducted and lectured at interaction design, service design and digital media design courses at the university.
Mattias Arvola is an associate professor in cognitive science with an interest in design. He works at Linköping University in Sweden. His research is positioned at the intersection of service design, interaction design, and cognitive science. In particular, he works with situated aspects of cognition where thinking is conceptualised as embodied action, within pragmatic, phenomenological, and socio-cultural traditions. He enjoys projects where he gets to put theories to work in design methods and in design practice.
My research focus on what happens to design when it meets new theoretical or practice areas, and seeks to integrate with these, such as the practices of service design, design for policy, and design for service.
