We are committed to educating globally about the power of Inclusive Design by sharing stories, precedents, and methods.
Our scope for consulting includes, among others, plan reviews, assessment of accessibility in the built environment and testing of digital and web accessibility.
IHCD works with entrepreneurs, designers and businesses to evaluate concepts, prototypes or existing designs to assess usability for the widest possible spectrum of people.
We put people at the center of the design process and directly engage diverse people as partners in design solutions.
