Design to thrive

Jane Nemke shares how she applied universal design principles to renovate her condominium so that it was easier for her to live in as her FSHD symptoms progressed. Her goal was not merely to improve accessibility but to create a living environment where she feels she will thrive. Previously on this blog, Jane shared details and before-and-after photos about her project (see “Universal Design” is Smart Design). In this video, she gives a tour of her home and it’s easy to appreciate the clever and effective ways she has solved dozens of design challenges. Thank you Jane!

    to live independently was so helpful. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration!

    Loved your video. A question for you: what is the label for this field of designers? In other words, what category would I look under to find people that can help me design or rehab my home to make it more accessible for me?
