Keith Kirkland is the Co-founder of WearWorks, a company that builds products and experiences that communicate information through touch. Their first product, WAYBAND™, is a haptic navigation device for the blind and visually impaired. And they used it to help a person who is blind run the first 15 miles of the NYC marathon without any sighted assistance. Keith is a mechanical engineer, accessories designer, and industrial designer with experience developing innovation-based concepts and experiences. He has worked with organizations ranging from the MET Museum, The Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, Unilever, Futureworks, Discovery Channel, TED, Dropbox, The Yokohama Government, Coach and the National Science Foundation. He is deeply excited about re imagining the future of tactile design while expanding the human ability to sense the environment. Keith joins Our Voices to share how WearWorks will change lives.
