I worked with Laurence MacDonald, Brian Conway and Adam Barker on this project. 
This project was shortlisted for the RCA Helen Hamlyn Fixperts Award. Find the full shortlist  here.
We met with Kay to talk about her issues with arthritis and some of the problems she has day to day.
She highlighted a problem with her front door, so we decided to focus on that.
