Hi Andre,

I am an international student from China. My background is illustration. I
am in the process of illustration master and Inclusive Design master, which
focuses on designing for edge cases. Here is our program information:
http://www.ocadu.ca/academics/graduate-studies/inclusive-design.htm Take a
look if you are interested.

I am a hearing person, my original graduate design idea was about Signing
Avartar. But that has too much programming knowledge which is too hard for
me to work on. After that I recognized typing SW is in large need in
research. So I got my SW keyboard idea :)
