Hello,


I am a student at The University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I am an Industrial Design major, which the easiest way to explain it is pretty much product design and development. I am currently in a Disability and Relevant Design class where we are going to redesign products to make them more accessible to everyone and I wanted to write on this forum to see if I could get any feedback so that I can make the best product that I can in terms of usability and usefulness. If anyone had suggestions of products that they see issues with or even everyday issues someone may have that I could find a solution for with a change in a product.

Being a woman I know I love being able to completely personalize my style anyway I want and I was wondering if there are any issues anyone had with this. I know a student who took the class last year is currently producing dress shoes and heels that are wheel chair compatible and this inspired me to see if there were any other common fashion accessories or even styles that are not always compatible.

I am open to literally any ideas and would appreciate any input you may have. This i not simply an idea for class but a design I will spend the year developing and testing before it is not only published but could be put into actual production if the prototypes test well.


Thank you for your time.
