Five years back, I met with a serious accident where my backbone was broken.No Doctor was ready to give treatment to me. My Parents was very much worried about me that I will survive or not.

But it is said that one who has the desire to live and wants to fight, can be defeated physically but no one can kill him/her mentally.

So, here I am alive and in the ongoing process of becoming a UX/UI designer.

I am not what I think I am, I am not what you think I am but I am what you think I think I am.

After my surgery I was paraplegic, a medical condition having no cure in medical science till date.

In this Journey, there was a lot of struggle, a lot of pain but I won it all and learn a lot of new things with time. One of the best thing I learned that everything has a good and bad side according to our needs, then whether it is a situation or a product. While fighting with time I found some beautiful or Good concepts of Design and yes, of course, some bad concepts too.

Design is a solution to a problem; art is a question to a problem.

Designed Tools of my journey

  1. My Supporter

Leaf Shaped Foot drop splint

Footdrop Splint

This is my supporter, one of the biggest supporters in my life. Yes, people need back support but in my case, I need leg support. Who so ever design it. It is a good design for all who needs support while walking.

2.My all-time Favourite Chair

Broad shaped Chair

A chair having space for putting your stuff.

This chair is having an amazing design like you can sit in this chair very comfortable and also put your pieces of stuff in the holes which are there in the chair.

3. Mini Cycle

My Exercise partner throughout my journey

Mine cycle

Cycles are good for our health but for me, it was like she motivates me that Yes girl just padel me and one day you will walk by yourself without any support. That's why it is a Perfect design by whoever made this magical tool for a paraplegic person.

4. My Oneplus 7t Phone Cemara

Protruding Cemara: One of my pain reliever

My Oneplus 7T

My phone is a best friend for me but sometimes it gives me heartbreak because its camera design is protruding and whenever it falls down it's like I just lost my life. From my personal experience, this is a bad design for users.

Conclusion: My whole life is a pattern of good design and bad design which make it a great design.

Thank you for reading!
