Born in South Korea, raised in Michigan, and currently living in California, Kam Redlawsk is a multi-award-winning disabled Industrial Designer, artist, (rare disease and disability) advocate, traveler, writer, consultant, and speaker.

In this episode, Kam shares the challenges associated with a rare degenerative muscle-wasting disorder (GNE Myopathy) and how she has fearlessly navigated her path through art and writing, using creativity as a vehicle for empowerment and expression. 

As a Korean American adoptee, Kam's designs, including the world's most affordable prosthetic knee joint, embody her unwavering commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. With over 15 years of advocacy under her belt, Kam is a powerful force in amplifying the voices of the disabled community globally.

To further advocacy and awareness, Kam uses her design skills and life experiences on creative projects that elevate and celebrate disability and inclusion in order to educate a society that has very little disability representation. 

Alongside her advocacy work, Kam is a daydreamer and seeker of inspiration, co-founding Chair Devils with her husband to further her mission of promoting accessibility and representation. She’s currently working on a children’s book inspired by her rare disease
