In this 1st ever friendpisode, you’ll be learning from the personal and professional life of Maegan Blau, a friend to us OTPs. We talk about interior design, accessibility, the ADA, how it all relates to OTPs and so much more.  Now based in sunny Arizona, her interior design career started with a personal journey to renovate and adapt her first home to fit accessibility needs while having a high level of style. In 2009 she incurred a C6-C8 spinal cord injury and has been a wheelchair user ever since. She is diagnosed with an incomplete C8 spinal cord injury which has obviously changed the way she lives in the blink of an eye. As a person with a disability, it seemed the majority of options to make homes accessible were straight-up ugly and very hospital-like. It got her thinking…we can do better than this! Combining her perspective of disability with her life-long passion for interior design fueled Maegan to find creative ways to make spaces beautifully accessible.  In 2018 she started Blue Copper Design to elevate the world of adaptive design.
