BIOGRAPHY
Hey, I’m Qais. I’m 24 years old, a recent Furniture and Product Design graduate, from Nottingham. I was born profoundly deaf into a hearing family, I first switched on my cochlear implant at the age of three. Through my childhood, my family and I learned a lot about how to live with my deafness, but when I turned 16, my world was turned upside down. I was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome and discovered I have an eye disorder called Retina Pigmentosa which causes night blindness.
