During his level 6 project, Angus Thomson’s ability to get in touch with professionals and patients has enabled him to access first-person research. This has allowed him to identify key insights to ensure an informed and empathetic design approach, aiming to directly help others. Thomson effectively models his designs to gauge their functionality and observes how users interact with different features, making necessary changes to enhance accessibility. His skill in sketching facilitates quick and clear communication of his ideas to peers and professionals, which would be advantageous in conveying concepts to the rest of a design team in an industry setting.
