Design Brief
Designing a product that is easily usable for people with disabilities
Target audience: Paraplegic on wheelchairs(people who can’t move their legs)
GOAL: My goal is to identify the unmet needs of people with disabilities in family/social life, and how I as designers can meet those needs.
Research:
UNMET NEEDS
Problems:
Having a hard time putting pants all the way up while sitting
Needing assistance to put pants on
Taking pants off
Sense of belonging/inclusion
Being able to be in a social setting without feeling alienated.
Access to experiences
Having the same opportunities as non-disabled people, and being able to perform on even footing.
Sense of personal responsibility
Being independent; Not feeling like they are burdening others.
Exploring broad concepts that makes it accessible for disabilities
I wanted to focus more on Paraplegic on wheelchairs users so I choose the pants direction that is accessible and comfortable to put on
Easy, fashionable, and comfortable
Testing final size, thickness, and proportion
