I am a trained product designer with a focus on social and inclusive design. Sensei was born after a close family member suffered from diabetic retinopathy at the age of 56 years old. Seeing the lack of inclusive products that can make our homes safer for visually impaired people sparked the idea for SENSEI. Using my design knowledge and empathy for my end users I am building a low tech and easy to install product range.

“In my mind, the only thing needed to be inclusive is understanding all you have to do is take an interest in the lives of people who don’t look like you, who don’t speak like you, who aren’t from where you’re from , who don’t share your history, who don’t celebrate like you, who don’t love how you love. Just take a moment to understand. I hope you understand.”
