Design for Human Variability - DfHV

DfHV - Designing for (real) human variability

I help organizations use anthropometric data, inclusive design methods, and computational tools to create products, systems, and environments that fit and work for more people.

Anthropometric analysis Evaluate accommodation across real populations.
Inclusive design Move beyond averages and simplified assumptions.
Tools & data Research-backed calculators and data exploration tools.
Evidence & standards Support better decisions with validated methods.

Professional tools, research, and consulting

Design decisions are better when they account for real human variability.

MattParkinson.com brings together research-backed design tools, applied anthropometric methods, and consulting for organizations working on products, systems, standards, and environments that need to fit real people.
