Sharing My Story

Estimated reading time: < 1 minute.

It’s been a busy, but rewarding, week at work and home. In the last 24 hours The Lego Group have published two personal videos documenting my sight loss disability and love for building with Braille bricks.

Thank you again to the teams at both Lego House and Our Lego Agency (OLA) for inviting me to share my sight loss journey.

If my disability story can help others going through similar challenges that would make me incredibly happy.

I hope my Fabuland ship, the ‘Maid of Fabuland’, delivers love to all the visitors at the wonderful Lego House, Billund, Denmark.

Play Well, Stewart (@stubot) ❤️💛💙

Five Years of Sight Loss

Over the last five years I have written personal blog posts detailing my traumatic sight loss journey. To help others better understand the significant changes in my vision I also created a series of interactive simulations (H5P files).
