About 10% of the population is left-handed, yet many products are tailored for right-handed users, neglecting the needs of left-handed individuals. This oversight results in left-handed people often using their right hand for tasks, making them largely ambidextrous. The design process typically adheres to an 'average' user model, overlooking various user types. This limitation calls for a shift in design practices to intentionally include the diverse needs of all users. With more attention to left-handed and other edge cases, products can better serve a wider audience.
Many products are designed with right-handed use in mind, forcing left-handed users to adapt. Left-handed individuals often become ambidextrous, switching hands for tasks.
Designers tend to focus on average users, but this approach ignores the needs of various users. Products must be intentional in addressing diverse user requirements.
