| Story | We believe products reflect the people who create them. Our motto is “build with, not for”.Our team was an international, diverse and multi-disciplinary team, including a disabled inclusive designer, an engineer, occupational therapists, psychologists, disabled consultants all with the same belief that inequality is something that is designed.The disabled community told us that fear of sweating – and body odor - sometimes held them back from going out or doing things they wanted. Being able to use deodorant was essential for confidence.We identified the major challenges as grasping, opening, closing, application motions and tactile perceptibility.We worked from these insights in an agile way, 3D modeled the design iterations and printed in-house so we could quickly distribute for rapid feedback during COVID. Three rounds of iterations gave us the design for Degree Inclusive, a deodorant that’s easier to identify, handle, open, close and apply. |
| Problem | We will all experience disability at some point in our lives. Today, 60 million adults in the US live with a disability. That’s 1 in 4!Degree, the world’s #1 deodorant, has an inclusive purpose – “To inspire confidence in everyone to move more”. A deodorant may seem like a trivial, mundane thing. Until you can’t open the cap, press down on the aerosol or apply it. Imagine the importance of deodorant for your confidence. Then imagine you are sweating more, because you are in a wheelchair. Finally, consider the neuroscience research that shows that being excluded hurts people just as much as physically being hit.That’s why inclusive design is so important. We believe that people with disabilities affecting their arms and/or vision should be able to take care of their hygiene needs independently.Degree Inclusive is revolutionizing design to make more products accessible for EVERYONE. |
