Principal of @mgravesdesign I believe in the transformative power of design to positively impact people's lives.

Until recently, the design of everyday medical support devices, such as canes, walkers and commodes, stayed the same. @VanVarick changed this by creating a new line of mobility and bath safety products that combine function and style for @CVSHealth. https://t.co/lQLq6VhUHr

@EusticeTheSheep @midsummerqueer @alexhaagaard And yet you did.

[Rob Van Varick @VanVarick]

@alexhaagaard Lol, nope. Not that either. Sorry for the offer.

[Rob Van Varick @VanVarick]

@fractalspike @alexhaagaard Good question! Holes in seats have a few issues. When you are sitting on them naked for a few minutes they can become uncomfortable. The holes also become a place where mold and mildew build up quickly and, by the nature of being a small hole, are hard to clean. There you go.

@elizejackson Too simplistic. Industrial Design is all about designing for many to increase efficiency and lower cost so items are financially accessible.

[Rob Van Varick @VanVarick]

@DianaBudds It was fun going through the process with you!

@elizejackson @kendrafeliciter Important to note that APHont can’t be used commercially. Or at least it couldn’t 10 years ago. Let me know if that’s changed.

Having a drink in a bar in Chicago while traveling. #AAF football is on and I seriously thought I had slipped into an alternate universe #darktower style.
