Lecturer at Leeds Uni, where I teach Product Design, and conduct research into design decision-making, user-centred design, and rehabilitation technology.

Really looking forward to this third @DeafblindUK Conference and to speaking about the ‘#Deafblind Studies’ courses @BCUSocialWork More info about these courses can be found here: https://t.co/8Cj6feFt2e
An excellent day hosting @grahampullin, @ktbroon and Fin Tams-Gray for the @itdfproject today! Really good discussions and looking forward to the next step in the project!

Thanks, Russ and Riitta! Always a pleasure!
