Survey Research
Identifying a Need
Understanding the Spectrum of Visual Impairment: Types and Severities
Exploring Payment Habits of Individuals with Sight Loss
While developing the survey, I included this question to gather more information about the daily experiences of individuals with visual impairment. I hope that the insights gained from this question will inform the design of my visually impaired-friendly wallet. For instance, whether I could incorporate some of the daily items (e.g. keys) into the wallet itself.
Research + Mechanisms Exploration
Interviewing the Community
Designing for accessibility: During the design process, I reached out to the locals with visual impairments through a Facebook post. An interview was also conducted with Sophie. The Visually Impaired-Friendly Wallet, tested and recommended by those who need it most.
