Tracey has taken on the task of introducing the concept of Adaptive Design to Glasgow and spreading this across the world by creating a global network of professionals and amateurs to collaborate and co-create solutions to meet the specific needs for those in most need, including pop-up assistive products services in disaster zones.

Tracey fought off strong competition to win the award but her idea to create a more accessible and affordable healthcare for those living with a disability seems like a worthy winner to us! Make sure you follow Tracey on Twitter to keep up to date with the project.
