After apologizing, I quietly set out to find a braille food labeling solution to try and right my wrong. The options I found included: hand brailling index cards and using rubber bands to hold them on to each item; buying expensive tech equipment that requires internet; or using time-consuming apps every time you needed to distinguish an item from another. I knew these options were not practical for him.
Using my 3D printing knowledge, I decided to engineer, print, and present him with a reusable braille label set of my own design. Seeing how easily they worked for him, he encouraged me to start candoable and make these reusable braille labels available to everyone who needs them. So, that’s what I’m doing.
