Pete and Eli met at the University of Brighton where they were studying product design. As part of a volunteering project for the charity Remap, they created a device to enable Barry, a wheelchair user with Multiple Sclerosis, to produce art.
The experience opened their eyes to the need for accessible, beautifully designed devices to support people with disabilities and Enayball (pronounced enable) was born.
Something that was a real goal from the beginning for both of them was to challenge design stereotypes of disability products. They saw a lot of disability aids that have a boring, utilitarian design. They wanted Enayball to be hyper functional, but also a product you’d be excited to receive for your birthday.

Design for Enayball is an iterative process where they see collaboration that places people – particularly potential users – at the heart of the design process.

An ambition for the duo is for the art creation that comes from Enayball to start a conversation around disability and accessibility.
