Westwood EAST is dedicated to designing assistive technology that transforms lives. Our latest project, the Tie It Up Station, helps a young entrepreneur with limited hand mobility independently tie knots for her handmade bracelet business. By turning a simple cardboard prototype into a durable, user-friendly tool, we’ve provided a solution that enhances both accessibility and entrepreneurship. Featuring 3D-printed adjustable rings, a secure string-holding system, and built-in measuring and design tools, this innovation allows her to create with confidence. This project exemplifies how technology and creativity can break barriers, fostering independence and new opportunities.
