Yeah.
Okay,
So my name is Daniel
Maubray.
I have a physical disability called Arthrogryposis which I was born.
That's muscles and joints
didn't develop fully from birth.
So I'm,
yeah,
Married with two kids and a time 
that technology and design has made things run smoothly for me is 
a modified vehicle.
So we've had a Kia Carnival modified for three years 
so,
it's got a ramp at the back - an electronic ramp,
which means I can get in.
And we also installed a automatic passengers step on the 
front passenger side as well.
So when I don't take my wheelchair and walk,
I can easily hop in the car and step up onto the step and 
into the vehicle. And it's been a huge
thing for us to have. It enables me to go out with
my family anywhere. We can travel wherever we want.
And,
yes,
It's really enhanced my ability to get out in the community as well.
So,
um,
because I can even use it ,
for my carers to drive me to and from work and pick me up,
and I can still take my 
wheelchair.
Yes,
because I can only walk short distances.
I take my electric wheelchair,
to a lot of places.
So yeah,
it's really enhanced my life in the last three is by having this 
modified vehicle.

I guess for me,
poor design experiences - the most common one for me would be shop 
fronts.
Often they'll have like a slight step or a couple of steps,
and it makes it impossible to get in to shop there.
It is improving
obviously. It's getting a lot better.
But I'm always having to go into a search engine and do a 
street view off the shop to see if it's accessible.
Yes,
Sometimes I can't just show up to shop 
or different areas just because I'm like,
Okay,
there's no witness.
I'm not gonna bother shopping at this place or going into this building or going into this 
restaurant.
Yes.
So,
even when I go,
I'm going on holidays.
I'm looking on street view to see if they have ramps 
before even attempt there, because far,
far too often in the past,
I've gone to places and even just
one step is,
just makes it a,
nightmare and impossible to get in.
So yeah,
that's probably always been my poor 
experiences with design is accessibility
