Elise Roy: When We Design For Disability, We All Benefit

'I believe that losing my hearing was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received,' says Elise Roy. As a disability rights lawyer and design thinker, she knows that being Deaf gives her a unique way of experiencing and reframing the world - a perspective that could solve some of our largest problems. As she says: 'When we design for disability first, you often stumble upon solutions that are better than those when we design for the norm.'
