Camila Chiriboga is a Parsons University graduate who works at the intersection of fashion, health and technology. Her project, veº is a tool that provides a simpler way for people who are blind and visually impaired to understand what they are wearing.
Veº will allow the visually impaired to choose their clothes empower peoples' unique abilities allowing them to become more independent, and to inspire others towards a more inclusive designs.
