About The Project
Bringing Aliyya deep into the world of adaptive fashion, Elisa shows her the technology and process behind the scenes of Will & Well. From defining challenges, brainstorming for ideas to testing prototypes, we did not shy away from introducing Design Thinking to 12-year old Aliyya.
This project began with the aim to design a mask that Aliyya can take on and off more independently, as her drool wets at least three masks in a day. Elisa also introduced disability role models like Zoe Zora, who shared great tips that aspiring model Aliyya was eager to show off during her first ever photoshoot.
