Working in the music industry might seem like a natural for the visually impaired, but the truth is huge barriers still remain – and Byron runs the only school in the world that specializes in educating blind producers and engineers.

Confident; in control; beautiful. Are these words you associate with blindness? When Lucy Edwards became blind in 2013, she didn’t. Over the last five years, though, she’s become the first blind ambassador for Cover Girl, an accomplished journalist, and built up a considerable following on her YouTube channel where she talks about makeup, the beauty industry, self care and how she finds confidence in every day life. On December 28 and 29, Lucy will make history as BBC1’s first-ever blind presenter.

We caught up with them this week to get the latest and greatest on best apps, smart devices, wearables and other exciting news about blind tech in 2020.
