Great video! I’m collaborating with Lego on these instructions. Please let me know what sets you’d like to be made accessible, and I’ll see what I can do. Re: sorting by color, Lego will hopefully integrate a color-detector into a smartphone app, so that an Iphone can tell you what color a certain piece is. Re: Hogwarts being expensive, those instructions were written by my friend and me when the set was new, but these sets skyrocket in price once they retire. You can find it for a more reasonable price on Ebay or Craigslist. You mentioned playing Magic: The Gathering. Do you play by brailling sleeves, or do you just have an encyclopedic memory for card statistics? It seems like a daunting game to play for a totally blind person. Happy building!

I’m sorry if I come off sounding stupid or something. I think it’s pretty amazing that you were able to do this and you are right they need to make it easier to do without help. I’m also curious, you said you were blind as a child, yet you have tattoos. That’s interesting!

Thank you! I use to be able to see, but even if I can't see the art, it doesn't really change the symbolism behind it.
