Episode description
In our discussion with Gina Adams, founder and CEO of Wareologie, she detailed the events in her personal life that led her to start building products for those with physical limitations. After watching her stepfather struggle with Parkinson's and working in the apparel and sportswear industries, she realized that existing products were not doing much to empower populations with dexterity challenges. While completing her MBA at Wayne State, she began to build Buttons2Button magnetic adapters, allowing people to button and unbutton shirts effortlessly to regain a vital aspect of daily living.
