Design With and For the Blind: Multisensory Experience in Design

Multisensory Experience in Design Included Curated Art

How can you design for blind people without reducing all of what it means to be blind to a disability?  As with all our clients, we wanted to understand the unique characteristics of NFB to better inform how we can approach design. As we listened and learned about NFB, we developed an appreciation of blindness, not as a condition that makes you less capable, but one that gives you a different way of experiencing engaging the world around you.  This had profound implications on how we approached design.  It made us rethink what makes places meaningful.  It made us look beyond function to consider multisensory experience in design and what it means to make design universal.
