His respected mother also shared her experiences and views in raising a blind child and working as a teacher - she is a long term educationalist. She is saying raising him was one of the most interesting thing she ever did - and that each thing was an inspiration in design thinking - and that he turned her into a thinker, a designer, a problem solver.
