  1. The strike of success with Scott Joffre

    The strike of success with Scott Joffre

    Meet Scott Joffre from New Hampshire. Scott was born extremely premature at just 26 weeks and weighed only 1 pound, 8 ounces — truly a miracle baby. He has retinopathy of prematurity, which affected his vision from the start. Growing up, Scott needed glasses and assistive tech like CCTVs just to see clearly, but he still enjoyed playing sports, hanging out with friends, and video games. When Scott was around 18, his mom, who does commercial cleaning for Dr. Dorothy Hitchmoth, a private eye doctor, mentioned to Dorothy that something seemed off with Scott’s eyes. Dorothy spent hours examining him and diagnosed him with cataracts that had severely limited his vision. Seeing Scott’s potential, Dorothy offered him a chance to do accessibility testing in her office. Scott’s mom thought this was a great opportunity for him, and shortly after, Scott took the initiative to email companies like Envision and eleVIVO, asking to help test their technology as well. Today, Scott works as an accessibility tester for technology designed for blind and low vision users, and he runs a YouTube channel called The Blind Stryker, where he shares tech reviews and insights from his own experience. Inspired by creators like Sam from The Blind Life, Scott uses his platform to raise awareness and provide practical support for the blind community.
