Grace Teo

Grace is the co-founder and executive director of Open Style Lab. She aspired to be a film wardrobe designer and make-up artist, before getting distracted by a chemical engineering degree in her homeland of Singapore. Fortunately, those years exposed her to the beauty of science & engineering design, leading to a bout of international research and travel that ended in a PhD in medical engineering and medical physics at Harvard/MIT. While interviewing clinicians and patients in hospitals, she realized how difficult it was for people with disabilities to dress, and returned to her first love of making beauty accessible to all people by founding Open Style Lab.
