Inclusive User Experience

“For someone with a disability,

personalisation is about

giving the them independence.”

Personalisation

“The problem with technology today is

that big companies can create anything

new and sell like crazy, even if the

“The issue is not just about wearing

technology, in a way we've been wearing

technology in our belts, or in our pockets
