In the past 18 months, I’ve set up the world’s biggest disability app called Snowball Community available on Apple and Android. It has over 83,000 accessible locations on the app.

The advice I would give when you start out your on your adventures is attend everything, meet everyone and take as much advice as possible.

And if you are fortunate to have employees delegate as much as possible.

What motivates me is trying to help as many people as possible. Because as a disabled person I still get frustrated every day about lack of access and lack of information at businesses.

I’m hoping that the app will be shared among the disable community, but also carers are non-disabled community to help everyone have an inclusive lifestyle.

Being inclusive is a human right not a business decision.
