Favorite design and analysis tools: Solidworks, Google sketchup, autocad

Hobbies and activities: coming up with new designs to help those in need

Inspired by: My designs are inspired by seeing how they may benefit those with various disabilities. I am always thinking about new ways to provide those with disabilities the opportunity to gain and/or increase his or her independence. I feel that all should have an equal chance to be a part of something they enjoy and not worry about how they will accomplish daily tasks. This is especially important to me since I face a debilitating disease known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
