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
The story of Lotus begins with me. Born with twisted knees, I’ve spent my life on and off crutches.
One night, I climbed into bed, exhausted, only to realize I’d left the lights on. Too tired to get up, I slept with them on—and woke up tired and frustrated.
That morning, it struck me: if even an Apple engineer like me didn’t have smart home tech at home, who did?
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.
