Claire Amoroso

Hi everyone,

I’m Claire and I have been visually impaired from birth. I have about 10% vision with a small visual field and can see shapes and colours.

I studied Languages and Philosophy as an undergraduate (including an Erasmus year abroad in Salamanca, Spain which was lots of fun) and then did a Masters in Translation and Interpreting.

I now work as a technical translator for a software company.

In my spare time, I enjoy the thrill of rock-climbing (both indoor and outdoor), discovering places and meeting new people.

Dániel Hajas

Hey there,

I'm Dániel. I’ll tell my story and you tell me who I am, whether my journey is interesting enough to motivate you to dream big.

I am the founder of the company Grapheel and am doing a PhD at the University of Sussex.

Dennis Ivarsson

Hi!

I'm a visually impaired lawyer and entrepreneur. I see about 3-4% since birth.

I studied law at the University of Lund in Sweden.

I've recently developed an app intended for Swedish lawyers, check it out here (Swedish only): Lagens Möjligheter.

Hi,
My name is Belmina and I have studied behavioural sciences including sociology, psychology and pedagogy at various universities in Sweden. I’m legally blind which in my case means that I can’t see anything. Currently I’m looking for a job and have applied for a law course in employment rights.
