Masters: Blind and low vision user participation in eval design
This Masters project focused on user participation methods to include blind people in evaluative design.
For my master's thesis, I chose to conduct a research project on UX design practices for the inclusion of blind and low vision users. The project was done in collaboration with my current employer, Be My Eyes, which is an app for blind and low vision people to get visual descriptions of their surroundings.
The project involved reviewing and evaluating 200+ design methods, planning and facilitating usability tests, and analyzing the results of the workshops to finally land on a refined framework for conducting accessible user involvement in the evaluative design phase.
