Meet Emily Thompson

Inventor of Handez

Describe your invention in five words or less:  

Manual hand massager for everyone 

Why did you create your invention? 

I created Handez to promote lifelong participation in everyday tasks and activities! It’s frustrating that people feel they need to stop an activity because of using their hands too much. 

What would you do if you became successful? 

I would expand my product with the intention to sell worldwide! Then I would develop additional products to further enhance quality of life for everyone. 

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

I would embark on a world tour if I could go anywhere. I love to explore and learn about other cultures from the people who live them. Top priorities would be Switzerland and Thailand! 

What’s a skill you’d like to learn, and why?

I would love to learn and master the skill of foraging. Nature has so much to offer, and I would love to take advantage of that. I love to cook with lots of colors and flavors. Being able to add more variety would take everything to a new level. 

Who do you admire most in life?

I admire the life of Jesus Christ for his unfailing love, compassion for others, leadership, and discipline. His virtues are how I strive to treat others.
