About Me
I am a product designer who just happens to be born with duchenne muscular dystrophy, a severe muscle wasting condition that leads to a reduced life expectancy and has no cure. I require assistance for my daily tasks but that has not stopped me from pursuing my dreams and finding work.
I believe that design can change the world through the combination of art, design and technology to create just about anything, be it functional objects or concepts that inspire the future.
Design is the outcome of my self-expression where the world is my playground and technology is my tool and the purpose is to create real world change.
QUADOM (2017)
Quadom is a self-balancing two-wheel, tilt-in-space elevator wheelchair which provides four degrees of freedom – forward/backward, rotation, up/down and tilt.
It incorporates the latest technology in mobility, connectivity and ergonomics to offer a perfect blend of design, functionality and comfort.
