Get to know
AMBODY

My path into prosthetics didn’t begin in a clinic or an engineering lab. It started in product

design, with a curiosity about why affordable prosthetic options felt outdated and

disconnected from the people who used them. That curiosity became something bigger

when I began meeting people living with limb difference, listening to their experiences, and

learning where current designs fell short.

A turning point came when I met Nate, founder at Koalaa. He introduced me to Alex Lewis,

a quadruple amputee, adventurer, and global advocate. Alex pointed out something so

obvious yet so often overlooked: body-powered prosthetics hadn’t changed in decades and

were missing active wrist movement, a feature crucial for daily life.

That insight lit the fuse. I returned to university, teamed up with Koalaa and Alex, and built

our first rough prototype. It worked, and that proof of concept became the foundation for

AMBODY.
