Project Design for Specific Users
Context Mapping Study
Stakeholders
The designed End-users (LHON)
The end users we design the product for are all people who have LHON and the symptoms that come with it.
The other End-users
Other end users are those who don’t have LHON, but for whom the product is also useful. Think of people who also have a similar disability, visual impairment or blindness.

Co-Design Methods
A big part of the context mapping study was research on successful co-design methods with visually impaired participants. Through the study, we managed to get a good overview of the possibilities and then decided on a few that would serve us the best throughout our process. To see what we did, see our co-design session.
