The Curb-Cut Effect: Designing for Accessibility Benefits Everyone 🚶♂️🚴♀️♿ Ever notice how small, thoughtful design changes created for one group often end up helping others too? This is what we call the Curb-Cut Effect 🌟. Originally designed for wheelchair users, curb cuts (the small ramps between sidewalks and streets) have become a universal design solution that benefits: 👶 Parents with strollers ✈️ Travelers with luggage 🚴 Cyclists 📦 Delivery workers with carts …and many more! This goes to show that designing for accessibility doesn’t just serve one community—it enhances the experience for everyone 🌍. 🔍 Here are a few ways to apply this principle in design: 1️⃣ Universal Design: Create solutions that accommodate a wide range of abilities. 2️⃣ Empathy First: Think beyond your immediate user base—how could your design assist others in unexpected ways? 3️⃣ Long-Term Impact: Small accessibility improvements can have a positive ripple effect, making your design more user-friendly for all. At #Maddotsdesignstudio, we believe that designing with accessibility in mind leads to a more inclusive, user-centred world 🌐. Every project we take on is rooted in the idea that good design empowers. Let’s make the world more accessible—one small curb cut at a time 💡. What’s your favourite example of accessible design benefiting everyone?
