Iain McKinnon

Brief biography

I am co-founder and Director of Inclusive Design at the Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub) a research and practice centre based at University College London (UCL) driving disability innovation for a fairer world. I originally trained as a Product Design Engineer and have worked on inclusive design of the built environment since 2005. My work now focuses on creating inclusive and resilient cities in developing countries around the world. My ambition is to influence designers and decision makers through research, teaching/training and delivering good practice to show that placing disabled people at the heart of the process creates better solutions that benefit all of us.
