Why I Built the NULU Navigator

029-mSnLo98dYSw.jpeg

 

I never expected to build for the adaptive market. I built NULU because my own upper-extremity limitations forced me to rethink how cutting actually works.

When your grip changes, when fatigue shows up faster, when force doesn't transfer the way it used to, traditional tools stop feeling intuitive. NULU was designed from that lived experience — from understanding how alignment, grip pressure, posture, and control affect real people in real kitchens.

But I've learned something since bringing it to market.

The farther someone is from that lived experience — whether it's a user, a caregiver, or even a clinician — the harder it can be to immediately see how a different cutting geometry might help.​

The NULU Navigator was created to bridge that gap.

It isn’t a diagnostic tool, and it isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a structured version of the conversation I would have with you at the counter—translating real-world challenges into practical insight about how NULU’s design applies to your situation.

The goal goes beyond helping you decide whether to purchase.

It’s about narrowing the distance between the tool, your body, and the systems that often stand in between—so that by the end, you have clarity, not just information.

But the vision doesn’t stop there.

This is about building a connective layer across an adaptive ecosystem that has always been under-resourced. Not to replace clinicians, caregivers, or organizations—but to support them, extend them, and help them work together more effectively.

What that looks like in practice:

  • Share where you struggle and get practical ways to work around it

  • Drop in a recipe and see how each cut can be approached using NULU’s geometry

  • Translate your experience into language a clinician understands—or give clinicians a clearer way to connect tools to outcomes

  • Quickly identify nonprofit and government resources whose mission is to help provide or fund adaptive solutions—but are often difficult to find through a typical search

  • Adapt over time, whether through gradual change, injury, or diagnosis, by identifying the right tools and adjustments to maintain independence

We are currently in a deep beta and testing phase. Making this the best tool possible depends on real people using it and telling us what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to improve.

Your feedback directly shapes how it evolves.

This started with a single product. It’s becoming something much larger—a way to reduce confusion, reduce friction, and improve outcomes across the entire adaptive landscape.

That vision only becomes real through use, iteration, and honest input.

If you’re willing to try it and share your experience, you’re not just testing a tool—you’re helping build something that could change how adaptive products and the people who need them actually find each other.

Independent Beta Tool Notice

  • This is an experimental, independent beta version of an AI-powered guidance tool created to help understand the use and benefits of this product, as well as to assist with resources to try it or to seek subsidized options. It is currently under development. It make mistakes, so ensure that you verify advice.
