Our Story
Two best friends. Both moms. Both neurodivergent. Neither of them willing to accept a world where accessibility is a word companies put in press releases and quietly skip when it's time to actually build something.
That's where TouchVida starts.
Jimena and Sarah didn't set out to build a company. They set out to solve problems they lived — and kept watching other people live around them. The kind of problems that don't make the roadmap at big organizations because the people who experience them aren't in the room when decisions are made.
So they put themselves in the room. Better: they became the room.
TouchVida's first product, FeelIt Buddies, came with Braille built in from the first sketch. Not as an accessibility feature. Not as a differentiator. As the floor — because when you design with the people who need something most, that's what naturally happens. The product gets better. Not just for them. For everyone.
Then came the planner problem. Two neurodivergent founders, post-it notes everywhere, systems that kept breaking down. The tool they needed didn't exist, so Jimena built the first version herself — scrappy, functional, entirely hers. She handed it to their Chief Builder, and he took it somewhere neither of them had mapped yet. The NeuroPlanner became something real.
The partnership that makes it all move, though, is Jimena and Sarah. Sarah brings the grounding — psychology, operations, educational depth, the steady hand that turns big vision into actual motion. Jimena brings the fire. Together they're in constant conversation: What's next? Who needs to be in this room? How do we make Massachusetts — and everywhere beyond it — more livable for our kids, and everyone else's?
This isn't a company built around a mission statement on a wall.
It's built around two women who genuinely can't stop asking: what if accessibility was just the rule?
Every product they make is their best answer, so far.
TouchVida designs and creates tools that empower people with disabilities to communicate, connect, and live fully. Every product we create is rooted in accessibility with a purposeful design for the people we serve.
In addition, every sale funds direct support to non-profits that advocate for disability rights in the United States as well as Venezuela .
Our Mission
Our Vision
We envision every person regardless of whether their disability is visible or invisible has access to tools they need to thrive. At TouchVida, we believe everyone deserves to live with dignity, independence, and the ability to reach their full potential. Through thoughtfulness we strive to remove barriers and empower individuals to create a more inclusive world where every person has the opportunity to live the life they dream of.
Our Values
Accessibility First
Accessibility is not a feature we add it is the foundation we build from.
Purposeful Inclusion
We design with and for the disability community honoring diverse physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional needs through collaboration with individuals, caregivers, educators, and advocates.
Dignity in Design
Every tool we create reflects our belief that people with disabilities deserve thoughtful and functional products that honor their individuality and support their needs.
Rooted in Community
Disability does not discriminate, and neither does our commitment to inclusion. We support communities both close to home and around the world. Honoring Jimena’s Venezuelan roots 2.5% of every sale will donated to a nonprofit in Venezuela as well as 2.5% to one right here in America. We believe meaningful change begins in our neighborhoods and extends across borders.
Purposeful Innovation
We combine tactile craftsmanship, technology, and lived experience to create solutions for real needs. Every innovation is guided by the people we serve and driven by purpose.
Transparency & Trust
As a LLC, we hold ourselves accountable to our mission, our customers, and our community. We stand behind our products and earn trust by keeping our word.
