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

Episode two is out yo! Hear about the work @HackOnWheels is doing to customise #wheelchairs, how @Gatwick_Airport went autism-friendly, and why special guest @RaymondAntrobus feels poetry has a place in deaf schools. ow.ly/1PVQ30m8pur
