Drawing, Teaching physically challenged individuals, Travelling
Drawing on a paper is my way to give existence to my thoughts. It helps to visualize products, contexts better. In design field, lead users are the one who identify the problem first and can give excellent product suggestions. Physically challenged people are one of those lead users. Training them in different aspects of life and learning from them about how to modify a particular design brings forth uncommon ideas.
