The Innovators
John Galloway talks to one of the UK's leading designers for special needs
"Innovation can be as simple as using the wrong tools because you don't have the right ones to hand," suggests Wendy Keay-Bright (pictured), Reader in Inclusive Design at Cardiff School of Art and Design.
It is this ability to take what we have and to find new ways of using it, to find fresh purposes for existing objects, that makes everyone a potential innovator. "Starting from what we have and looking at it in a different way," she explains, "and just looking at it because it has particular attributes of it's own, values of its own, without the necessity always to be functioning or problem solving."
