DESIGNER AND CONCEPTOR FOR ACCESSIBILITY

As a designer and concept developer for accessibility in design, products and exhibitions, I can support you in an accompanying or executive role.

ACCESSIBLE PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING

Take advantage of my expertise as an experienced designer if you want to develop and optimize packaging and products for a larger user group or test them with different target groups.

INCLUSION CONSULTANT

As an inclusion consultant I support you in the planning and development as well as testing of products, exhibitions and events.

Design and Concepts

As a designer and concept developer for accessibility in design, product and exhibitions, I can provide you with accompanying or executive support.

In our team we develop and produce e.g. tactile orientation maps and graphics for the blind and visually impaired, half-reliefs and tactile replicas, 3D scale models and interactive objects. As an expert for barrier-free communication and didactic concepts for blind and visually impaired people I work together with pedagogues, graphic designers, architects and scale model makers. Of course we produce including Braille, large print and profile lettering. We translate your requirements into action and optimise the user-friendly design in tests until the best possible result is achieved.

Typical use cases are exhibits, handouts, supporting material and brochures, building and site maps, functional models.

Consulting Expert

As a consultant and assessor for accessible architecture (exterior and interior) I support you in reconstruction, planning and new construction.

The factors for accessibility are cognitive understanding, optics and blindness, age, walking disability, height, acoustics and hearing impairment or deafness, mobility, phobias, orientation and much more. My task in your project is to mediate in an inspiring and motivating way between client, architect and interior and graphic designer as a positive catalyst, who has the diversity of the users in mind and thus enables comprehensive and aesthetic solutions. Ideally, I am present at meetings early in the design process – to help develop the idea and the enthusiasm for the project. This includes floor guidance systems, optical, tactile and acoustic orientation systems, also for blind and visually impaired people, wheelchair-, child- and age-appropriate structures and furniture.

Examples of use include rooms for living, housing estates, public places and parks, consultation rooms, museums and exhibitions, schools, event rooms, malls, hospitals and much more.
