Blind benchy

I’m fully blind—and as a blind designer and creator, navigating the world of 3D printing is no small feat. It’s a craft deeply rooted in visuals, yet I’ve made it my own, using screen readers, tactile feedback, and a lot of creative problem-solving.
This is my personal interpretation of the classic Benchy. I call it “The Blind Benchy."
The figure in the boat isn’t just any captain—he’s holding a white cane, symbolizing the challenges of navigating a world designed for sight. But more than that, it’s a reminder of the strength found in collaboration, in daring to ask for help, and in the incredible things that can happen when people come together.
I hope you enjoy this small but meaningful twist on the Benchy legend.
