Adaptive Aids for Independent Daily Living

Hi, I’m Matt — creator of T‑ZipIt.
I’m a C5 quadriplegic and have been a wheelchair user since 1978. For the past 25 years, I’ve worked in the adaptive equipment field, designing practical aids for my clients and for myself.

T‑ZipIt.Life focuses on a niche but important community: individuals with limited hand function. Every product I design is something I personally use every day, and my goal is simple — to help others stay independent in their daily lives.

Thanks for stopping by.
