Hello,
My name is Richard Child, and in August of this year I co-founded Hymid R & D, a company that designs and develops Independent Living products and services, with the aim of bringing them to market. My background is design, and I want to create beautiful products/services that are functional and easy to use.
Our goal as a company is to build strong relationships with communities. We understand that end users and industry professionals are aware of the problems within Independent Living, and in a lot of cases have developed a solution. If you have an idea that you think has merit, please get in touch.
Hymid R & D are currently working on a product to assist the use of crutches. If you have ever used crutches, could you please spare a few minutes to fill out our survey, and let us know your thoughts: bit.ly/designofcrutches
