Feel-It Buddies
A wearable tactile communication tool — six 3D-printed emotion tokens for children who are blind, have low vision, or complex communication needs. Every token has the face, the word, and braille. Available in multicolor or black & white. Clips to a backpack, lanyard, belt loop, stroller, or wheelchair.
How to use your Feel-It Buddie →
Every product has a story. Feel-It Buddies has the most beautiful one of all.
It started at my daughter's OT appointment — a flyer on the wall for a local Children's Museum event for neurodivergent kids. Something clicked. I have to do something for them.
I called my aunt, María Ysabel, who works with kids like this in Venezuela. "What could I 3D print for the nonprofit?" I asked. Her answer was immediate: something for emotions.
We got to work. I knew exactly who should bring it to life visually — a gifted illustrator whose art gave each emotion a face. The moment her images were ready, María Ysabel said: add Braille. So I reached into my network and found an expert in Braille.
The first prototype was born.
A daughter's therapy appointment. An aunt's wisdom. An illustrator's art. A Braille expert's touch.
That's Feel-It Buddies.

"As a mom of a neurodivergent child, I am always looking for tools that can help my child communicate in a healthy way. Feel-It Buddies give my child a way of expressing his emotions without having to say a word. When he is overstimulated he can point to the card with the emotion he is feeling. Feel-It Buddies have opened up a new world of communication for us."
Living fully is not a privilege. It's a design standard.
Designed with, not for
Every product starts with the people who'll use it. Co-creation isn't a buzzword here — it's the process.
Access is non-negotiable
If it doesn't work for the people it's built for, it doesn't ship. Accessibility is the starting point, not an afterthought.
Joy is part of the design
Functional isn't enough. Our products are made to feel good — to spark delight, not just check a box.
