WayAround is the smart app that provides on-demand details about everyday things for people with blindness or vision loss. Darwin created WayAround after retiring from a 30-year career as an architect and software developer.
Working with top national homebuilders, Darwin built an award-winning company that specialized in Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, which creates interactive representations of every aspect of a building. In 2007, that company was purchased by a Fortune 175 company, ITW. Through WayAround, Darwin now uses his expertise to change how people with blindness or low vision get information about objects in the world around them.
A passionate devotee of innovation, Darwin has pursued leading medical advancements to correct several of his own vision-related and other complications of Type 1 diabetes. He has a unique insight into the challenges of sight loss for those who have served in the U.S. military. Darwin first lost his vision at age 30 and successfully underwent a vitrectomy to restore his sight. Since then, he has been diagnosed with wet macular degeneration, significant peripheral vision loss, and nyctalopia (night blindness). He was the recipient of a kidney transplant from his brother, Craig, in the mid-1980s, and in 2007 he received a pancreas transplant, curing his diabetes of 40 years.
