Designing Isn't Just for Adults..

I think that our field kind of has some negative views sometimes. People don't really know what we do or understand what we do. They think that we simply "fluff pillows and pick paint chips."
However, we know that this isn't the case. We know that we do much more than this. People don't understand that we are going to school to make their lives better and more comfortable. We know stuff that could make a difference in the way that they live.
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of knowledge I learn everyday about our field of choice. When I gave my presentation last week it amazed me the certain things we could do to even improve a newborns room by putting in sound systems. Or even when Marcene did the presentation on health care environments and she talked about how they were painting their machines bright colors or making them look like something cool and not a big scary MRI machine. It's amazing how even just those small touches can improve the way a child might behave and not be scared to go to the doctor.
There is all sorts of knowledge out there for us to learn how to design and it's not just for adults and elderly. It's very useful for children too.
