We are all students of Universal Design
"No one knows it all."
The “Student of Universal Design” designation is an effort by UniversalDesign.com to promote the idea that universal design is a user-centered process that evolves as interested designers broaden their own understanding, perspectives and experience by working with the range of users in a variety of environments. The key to this process is learning about how people interact with their environment, something that all designers do throughout their lives.
Check back with us as we will soon be adding resources and information to help Students of Universal Design learn how to better design universally!!
