Looking back at personal favourite projects from my "Five Years in the Making"... 2018 - Two years of working with @HackOnWheels resulting in the first modular, customisable wheelchair - then getting to present the project, and a Generative Design wheelchair concept at #AULondon

Limb different #TommyGirl FTW! As someone with a congenital limb difference, I’ve been adapting to things my entire life! My 1st time trying #TommyAdaptive, I couldn’t hide my excitement that something was adapted FOR ME! #TommyPartner usa.tommy.com/tommy-adaptive – at Palma, Spain

Great article on us in @MetroUK ! “Glasses wearers have control over every aspect of their of their design and are offered a product that caters to their individual needs. Yet most wheelchair users are still expected to make use of a standard model” @cellule_studio @SteveCox3D
