As a side project my Sophomore year, I applied to be in a design challenge.  Trading Places: 24 Hour Inclusive Design Challenge was hosted by the Institute for Human Centered Design in collaboration with the Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre.  The objective of the challenge was that each of the five teams had a design partner, a person with a disability or older person, and to follow them around the streets of Boston.  After analyzing the design partners experience through Boston, the teams are given the task of designing a solution that can help aid the design partner through any challenges they may have faced.  I cannot take credit for any of the renderings, all rendering were done in an industrial design program.  Credit goes to Nick Pisano of Wentworth Institute of Technology.
