This month's Writing Diversely interview is with co-founder of ATDev, Owen Kent!
Owen, a spirited entrepreneur and an accomplished accessibility researcher, has been navigating the world with the challenges of spinal muscular atrophy.
A connoisseur of the arts with a degree in film from UC Berkeley, his journey has not been an easy one but, like a true auteur, he's turned it into his greatest masterpiece. Despite the physical constraints, his mind has always soared, exemplifying his intelligence and deep passion for technology. Owen is also the founder of an innovative startup that aims to revolutionize physical therapy with the world's first insurance-reimbursable exoskeleton. His intimate understanding of disability and his relentless drive to push boundaries make him a force to be reckoned with in the field of accessibility tech.
Whether he's exploring the intersection of bio politics and disability or philosophizing about life's inherent absurdities, Owen continues to inspire, challenge, and redefine what it means to live life on your own terms.
