Sinéad Burke: Living in a world that wasn't designed for me

09:57 minutes · Filmed Mar 2017 · Posted Jun 2017 · TEDNYC

Sinéad Burke is 105 centimeters (or 3' 5") tall -- so she's acutely aware of design details that are practically invisible to many of us, from the height of the lock on a bathroom door to the range of available shoe sizes. In this empathetic, fascinating talk, she shares what it's like to live in her world -- and asks us to see from a new perspective.

Quote of the Week

I want to challenge the idea that design is but a tool to create function and beauty. Design greatly impacts upon people's lives, all lives. Design is a way in which we can feel included in the world. It is a way in which we can uphold a person's dignity."

Sinéad Burke
Why design should include everyone
