People with dyslexia have unique minds. They can design things that a person without dyslexia would never even think of, such as the array of objects that are going to be featured in an upcoming exhibit at the London gallery design junction. People with dyslexia can be highly creative problem solvers and can think in ways that make for killer designs.

Called Dyslexic Design, it’s an exhibit of, in case you haven’t guessed, work from dyslexic designers. London-based industrial designer Jim Rokos curated it in the hopes of getting other people to see what he already can: that people with dyslexia aren’t suffering from a so-called learning disability.

People with dyslexia see the world differently and engineer creative solutions.

People that have dyslexia see and interpret the world differently. They can identify solutions to problems others might overlook. Some designers won’t attempt to do things they think might not work. By thinking about things in a different way, dyslexics do away with some of the engineering that would normally be used.

Key Takeaways:

1
An art exhibit in London, known as Dyslexic Design, showcases artwork completed by artists who have dyslexia.
2
The artwork truly shows how differently people with dyslexia think, which results in a special form of creativity.
3
The goal of the exhibit is to show that Dyslexia is not so much a detriment, but just a different way to think.
