2025

A make-a-thon where the brief was one person: an 11-year-old boy with cerebral visual impairment, who told us what he actually needed.

What I built

This was a need-knower project: rather than designing for a category of user, we worked directly with one boy with cerebral visual impairment and built to what he told us. That shapes everything — the key spacing, the tactile cues, the angle the stand holds the board at.

My role. 3D modelling.
