Description

Ten years ago, Industrial designer, McCauley Warner wrote a thesis on creating prosthetic leg covers that were fashionable, protective and full of choice. Her professor argued that she would never accomplish it and clinicians pushed back stating, insurance companies would never allow it. McCauley partnered with Ryan Palibroda after college and today,  they own a successful company creating customized prosthetic covers to amputees all over the world. Join us to hear how designing for this not-so-small demographic is seeing big returns.To find out more about ALLELES and their product, visit: Website:   https://alleles.ca/ Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/allelesdesign/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alleles/?hl=en For more information about Abilities in Motion, visit our website at https://www.abilitiesinmotion.org/ or follow us on social media.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AbilitiesinMotionPALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abilitiesinmotion/
