Name: Sim Castle

Project Name: Standing mobility device for paraplegics

Project Info: A product designed to challenge the status-quo just because wheelchairs have been used for centuries it doesn’t mean it’s the only way.  Standing brings  huge benefits to paraplegics, both physiologically and psychologically.  This break-through product allows the user to stand and move under their own strength, and offers a degree of mobility unmatched by any other mobile standing frame.

Bio: I like to think of myself as an inventor as well as a product designer. I take great joy in combining my technical know-how with  user-centred design to create unique and innovative products. I particularly enjoy ideation and problem solving – as well as getting my hands dirty in the workshop!
