The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Created BlindSquare (2012), a self-voicing iOS navigation app now used by blind people in 160 countries
  • Founded MIPsoft, which has shipped 11 accessibility-focused apps built on open data
  • Developed BlindSquare in close collaboration with, and field-testing by, blind users
Why

Why we celebrate them.

Ilkka built, with blind people rather than for them, the app that lets a blind traveler confidently walk a street they've never seen.
