@andylu I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome which made me initially interested in designing better braces for myself and people like me. Then a close friend of mine told me she was potentially facing an arm amputation so I started to look into what I could feasably do for her. I fell in love with the whole field of biomedical engineering (it didn't EXIST when I was at school!) and I decided I was going to get my masters so that I could keep my friend in replacement arms and help as many people with disabilities as I possibly can.

I wanted to be an artist when I was a child though I had to switch to digital art when I lost the fine motor control in my hands because of the EDS. I now enjoy digital art, though it takes forever to do.

If I feel brave, I'll take you up on your kind offer of the programming. I have a list a mile long though of things I have to get done first. I'm honestly a bit scared of my to do list😱
