- How does design impact disability?We are passing on a request from a design researcher who was born with a walking disability.She says:I want to harness my background to capture the voice of the community I care about and represent.Currently, I am working with Open Style Lab (www.openstylelab.org) to interview people on how design impacts disability.I am looking for participants to interview about style, design, and self-expression!I am looking for women who have a physical disability to participate in interviews about style, design, and self-expression. The interview would take place on ZOOM and should be around 15-20 minutes.Any participation is greatly appreciated and really helpful for me as a scholar and researcher.Questions
