Sight for the Blind

Project type

Product Design

Date

2021

Location

Seattle, WA

My prototype for the Mira harness for the blind. This harness housed 2 sensors on the front of the body: one at chest level and the other at waist level while the batteries and processing hardware lived on the wearer's back in another compartment. The tech was still being developed, so this nonprofit group needed a wearable way to test it.

A bit from you know who...

Welcome. When it comes to text communications I like to keep it concise, as words are powerful, but often wasted. About me, know this: I put work in to do the hard things; I find inspiration from nature and the human spirit; I think of how to create a humane and sustainable world constantly; aesthetically and taste-wise, I'm partial to corn.

 

I spend my energy in search of understanding, so I've accumulated a range of skills and experiences. To be honest, it's challenging at times to wrangle my past into a cohesive story for you, the viewer, so this site will likely always be a work in progress. Unlike my projects - many of which have a prompt, a beginning and an ending - I continue to grow and change. I anticipate this patch of digital space will reflect that.
