Our Research Process

Design With

When Michael Graves became paralyzed in 2003, we gained a lot of firsthand experience with accessibility and the built environment. Our designers have worked from a wheelchair and used other mobility devices to gain empathy. We have also engaged in hundreds upon hundreds of hours of ethnographic research with older adults and people with disabilities to learn more. We also conduct Consumer Preference Testing where potential customers review prototypes. We refer to this product design process as “Design with” our target consumers.
