Barbara “BE” Alink is transforming the “sick care” industry with The Alinker, the walking bike designed for an active life.
"If you design for people, you're not solving problems. I reverse design everything. That means I don't focus on problems. I don't have problems. I don't fix anything. I design for humans and, in that effort, you realize how much is problems-fixing out there and completely missing the point because we're not a problem to be fixed."
