Why it matters
Pullin challenges the assumption that assistive products must look clinical or that inclusive design should disappear into a universal solution. He treats disability as a source of design possibility, identity, and richer debate.
Best for
Best for product designers, accessibility practitioners, and anyone reconsidering the relationship between specialized needs and mainstream aesthetics.
What you’ll learn
You will learn to question stigma, invisibility, fashion, personalization, and the productive role of difference in the design of objects and interactions.
