Bachelor Assignment

Design Your Life (DYL) is a project aimed on creating a method that can be used by young autistic adults to design highly personalized products for themselves with a goal to increase their independence. This method is then represented in a form of a so-called "Toolkit"". The result of this graduation project is a DYL Toolkit with board game-like appearance that guides the user through 6 stages of the design process. The main elements of the toolkit are cards that provide the users with exercises that need to be completed to progress to the next design step. The final product is meant to be used by a young autistic adult and a co-design partner of their choosing, no help or supervision of a professional designer is necessary
