Dustin's Words
Co-Founder
Los Angeles, CA
October 2013 - Present
Our goal is to create an affordable, customizable device and platform that families can use to meet their unique communication needs. Many families who already struggle with financial burdens due to health-related issues end up spending thousands of dollars on assistive communication tools. We want to offer an alternative—a communication tool that augments a family’s daily routine by providing an easy way to say the things that matter most.
We’re also going to open source everything we do—from our code, to the 3D models, to the platform itself, so that in addition to being able to purchase a pre-assembled device, anyone can print and assemble a device of their own.
