About Us
We build technology that is usable by everybody by optimizing for disability first.
Our products operate seamlessly in the background, appearing only when needed. Recognizing that technology is a means, not an end, our true focus is improving human lives. We prioritize universal and inclusive design from the start, creating solutions that empower all users in their living spaces.
A note from our founder
Lotus’ story starts with me - I was born with twisted knees. And over the years I've been on and off crutches.
One night I got into bed, having left the lights on. But I was too tired to get on my crutches, hobble ten feet, turn off the light, and hobble back to bed. So I slept with the lights on — the entire night.
I didn't sleep well, and woke up thinking - if an Apple engineer like me doesn't have smart home tech in their own home, who does?
So that's our mission now - to build tech usable by everyone, by optimizing for disability first.
Our Team
Founded in 2021, Lotus has since grown to be a passionate group of experts in engineering, healthcare, disability, and design. We are a California-based technology company, on a mission to shape the future (and status quo) of consumer hardware.
