Design for Accessibility

Our client Jessica was born with no arms due to a rare congenital limb difference and likes to be independent. My team & I, at NYU need to design a solution that enables her to take care of her pet independently. 

What's special about this project?

​This project is UNIQUE as it does not involve a digital solution. Rather it focuses on physical aspect of accessibility and design for a human + animal
