Izzy has always regarded her wheelchair as a symbol of freedom but never felt that it expressed her bubbly personality. Together the sisters designed a range of removable wheel covers that matched Izzy’s colourful style. They grew their business from their kitchen table in Galway into a global brand shipping to over 60 countries and collaborations with 100 world-famous artists and major brands including Disney, Marvel, Barbie, Star Wars, and Hello Kitty.
