The Re:Design Webinar
Design that connects us
In this six-part webinar series, Mima are bringing together brilliant minds from across disciplines to explore how human-centred design thinking has the power to transform the spaces, systems, and environments we interact with every day. From inclusive exhibitions and green spaces, to accessible passenger journeys, start-up innovation, and wayfinding for all, the series showcases how when you design with people at the heart, you create meaningful experiences. Each session offers fresh perspectives, real-world challenges, and examples of inclusive design that works for everyone.

Session 5 - Inclusive wayfinding: translating spaces into information
Monday 9th February | 12.30pm (GMT)
Wayfinding is often thought of as a finished product, signs on walls or maps at entrances, but in practice it is a process of discovery that shapes how people find, understand and use information. As spaces become more complex and increasingly digitised, legibility and interpretation play a central role. Inclusive design, when embedded from the outset, helps ensure people aren’t left behind and can drive innovation rather than act as an afterthought.
This session brings together perspectives from wayfinding, interpretation design, inclusive design and assistive technology to explore how information is conveyed, accessed and understood across different environments. Drawing on lived experience, user-led processes and cross-disciplinary collaboration, the panel will consider how complex spaces can shift from being barriers to becoming legible, navigable experiences. It will also explore how future-focused, integrated approaches can better support diverse user needs and improve experiences for everyone.
This live session will last 45 minutes and include a Q&A - so bring your questions.

Dániel Hajas - GDI Hub
Dániel Hajas is an Innovation Manager at University College London, and the director of Project27.
Born in Hungary, Daniel’s life took a dramatic turn at the age of 16 when he lost his sight. This significant change fuelled his passion for making science and technology accessible to all. Despite the challenges, Daniel pursued his academic interests with determination. His love for mathematics and physics led him to the University of Sussex in England, where he studied theoretical physics.
His growing interest in haptics, human-computer interaction, and science communication spurred him to pursue a PhD in Informatics at the University of Sussex. His doctoral research has contributed to advancements in ultrasonic mid-air haptic technology, enhancing tactile perception and broadening the possibilities for accessible technology.
In 2021, Daniel joined the Global Disability Innovation Hub as an Innovation Manager. In this role, as part of the innovation team, he conceptualises, operationalises, and delivers a wide range of projects within GDI Hub's Accelerate programme. His initiatives include early career researcher incubators, which support academic innovators in translating their research into practical applications in assistive technology.
