Kam Redlawsk is an award-winning disabled industrial designer, artist, author, consultant, speaker, and advocate.

As a Korean-Japanese American adoptee born in South Korea and raised in Michigan, Kam's life is a rich tapestry of experiences shaped by her progressive form of muscular dystrophy, with her creativity, voice, and resilience taking center stage. Kam is also the debut author and illustrator of the children's picture book Yumi and Monster, inspired by her rare disease and disability. 

(Yumi and Monster is available for preorder here.)

As an advocate, Kam has been a voice for the rare disease and disabled community since 2006, using art, writing, travel, and creative tools to connect us as humans. The inspiration for Kam's creativity and advocacy is the human condition and its fragility. She believes that vulnerability is a strength, and that humans have more in common than differences. Kam also believes that creativity and storytelling are important for gaining perspective and creating bridges within humanity.

Whether Kam is speaking on design at Kyoto Design University, a keynote speaker for National Scholastic Awards, sharing her insights at MIT, or showcasing her art in Washington DC as a rare disease award recipient with congressional staff, Kam's varied interests and experiences equip her to speak on a wide array of topics.

As a daydreamer and chaser of inspiration, Kam spends her time advocating for others, creative expression, traveling, and adventuring the globe in her wheelchair, exploring the human condition. She embodies a dynamic yet gentle force, bringing a balanced and empathetic voice to today’s divided world.

Kam is doing all of this, and she’s just begun.
