Universal Design

As I mentioned, I’m a creative director and graphic designer with a passion for inclusive art direction rooted in the principles of universal design. What is Universal Design? Universal design is the concept that designers should consider how their products, plans, systems, and environments will be accessed, used, and enjoyed by all individuals regardless of ability (1). There are many proven benefits to incorporating the principles of universal design into your company, brand, or product (2-5). Over the years I have utilized a number of resources which I hope to share on my Resources page soon!
