Universal Design "is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design."
This concept is a design-thinking process that can be applied across a wide range of fields, varying from tech products, architectural landscapes, to everyday appliances.
Universal Design is made with equal accessibility in mind, for differently-abled and neurodiverse groups of people specifically, but the improvements always end up being for everyone.
When a product or an environment is built to be accessible for people with disabilities, it often ends up being beneficial for others. Hence the name "Universal Design." Case studies here.
Depending on where Universal Design is applied to, there are vastly different things to consider. But as a starting point, there are generally 7 principles of Universal Design to abide to.
Start implementing Universal Design now by first re-framing how you think. For the specifics, feel free to refer to our case study and guide page for more information.
