User Personas...part IV

Our last and most interesting user persona is Richard. He's a 55-year-old architect who's a Berkeley graduate. He worked for a San Luis Obispo architecture firm. After a severe car accident, however, he lost his hand and was severely injured, which put him out of work for a while. He lost his ability to draft, as that was the means of doing business in his time, and didn't know how to use a computer. As time passed, the new incoming architects were digitally proficient, something richard couldn't compete with. He had massive debt, due to the hospital bills and can't get a job due to his status. He also has no family to go to. He's an extremely intelligent individual who enjoys puzzles and problem solving. He spends his time reading and tries to learn as much as possible from everything. He is extremely friendly with the locals but talks excessively. A rather depressing story...
