DESIGN CAFÉ PILOT
Co-designing solutions people want and need
Last Saturday, 22 July at Griffith University’s Gold Coast Campus, “Design Lab” Lead - Mathew McShane delivered our first Inclusive Futures Design Café Pilot program.
The Design Café is a community building and technological engagement project that brings together engineers, designers, and occupational therapists with people with disability, to explore engineering and technology solutions to challenges people face every day.
Together with people who have lived experience, the program put forward new, co-created solutions for development, and thus provided valuable enhancements to people’s lives.
“We had an amazing opportunity to collaborate on inclusive designs during this event, truly embracing the essence of co-design. It was remarkable to directly learn from users and understand their unique challenges, while actively involving them in the design process. Such involvement has often been overlooked when designing for disability, but this event showcased a refreshing approach to human-centred design.”
