Our Story

Founded in 2019

Founded by two best friends in Brooklyn, after designing 3D printable assistive devices for people with disabilities, Amin and Jed decided to redesign the gift mug.

It all started in 2017

Open-Source Assistive Devices Designed for Amputees

We started Blue Heart Hero, a non-profit organization. To empower the lives of those who need simple solutions to their problems.

What we learned

The problem lies in the design of products, tasks, and services.

We quickly learned to design task-based solutions for amputees and create a library of open-source designs for people to download and fabricate for themselves.

Simple and Impactful

A thoughtfully-designed mug can benefit everyone, businesses can improve their customer relations, coffee enthusiast can enjoy their drinks better, and the under-represented groups can enjoy a beverage without extra help.
