Work

With each assignment, Mijksenaar takes into account various types of users, old and young people, color blind people, people with reduced mobility or reduced sight and low-literate people.
By focusing on all users from start to finish, we avoid the need for special, custom-made information and navigation systems. We aim for wayfinding solutions that exclude no-one and that eliminate the need for extra aids, no matter how well organized these aids may be.

Current projects that focus on inclusivity are:
