While audiences are enthralled when Isaac Mugunda plays the guitar, what most never realise is that he is playing it upside down. Mugunda is left-handed, yet most guitars are designed for right-handed people.

That is what navigating the world is like for a left-handed person. A world designed for right-handed people. For the 10 per cent of people who are left-handed, trying to use many everyday items is like a game permanently set on ‘difficult’ mode while it is permanently set on ‘easy’ mode for the other 90 per cent, who never have to think about it.
