Conducted user research

Redesigned a Product Feature User Story

Accessibility and design. Has engagement of people with disabilities lost out to universal design? They are not invisible.

In Ireland, you have to 24 HR notice to take Irish public transport because you're differently-abled? #publictransport #accessibility #universaldesign

Read this great series of research articles.

Inaccessible platforms in some stations and manual ramps on Irish Rail trains as well as the fact that there is just one wheelchair space on Bus Éireann Expressway and regional routes, has resulted in these providers requiring disabled people to give 24-hours notice. This was reduced to 4-hours on Dart and Commuter train services in recent years.

Reading: Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness.

A great source of insight for design ideas for incentivizing behavior for positive climate change and other problems.

A great steer by Catherine Friend of Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology. #UX #environment #change #climate #psychology #design
