S3 E11 Engineering Hope & Designing Comfort with Sydney Robinson, Co-Founder of Vessl Prosthetics
Description
The most powerful inventions don’t just solve problems, they give people pieces of their lives back.
For Sydney Robinson, the spark was a capstone project in mechanical engineering to design an ankle foot orthosis for a young girl that allowed her to play on the beach with her friends. That moment planted the seed for a career dedicated to transforming mobility for amputees.
From a master’s in biomedical engineering to the elite Medical Innovation Fellowship, Sydney’s journey has been rooted in curiosity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to problem-solving. Today, as co-founder of Vessl, she’s leading a team pioneering Kinn, an automatically adjusting prosthetic socket system designed to bring comfort, confidence, and freedom of movement to amputees.
In this episode, Sydney shares the moments that shaped her mission, the importance of remembering why you start, and how reinvention isn’t just a design philosophy, it’s a way of leading and living. Whether you’re an innovator, a healthcare professional, or someone navigating your own challenging path, her story will leave you inspired to keep moving forward.
