Kelvin’s Life Mission
Rejoicing in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5
Kelvin lives by these verses everyday and wants to show you how to have joy, even in your suffering. His drive to help others — especially those with their own disabilities — is the the defining characteristic that makes people want to meet him, listen to him, and join with him in overcoming the challenges of life with joy and courage.
What Does Kelvin See?
Today, Kelvin’s vision is like looking through a straw covered with wax paper. Although he can still see some colors and a vague outline of shapes, he no longer can discern details. Kelvin relies on his white cane to help him navigate the world.
Kelvin the DeafBlind Potter
DeafBlindness doesn’t stop this man from living beyond his challenges every day. Kelvin lives with Usher Syndrome Type II, which affects his hearing and vision. When Kelvin speaks, it can be hard to understand him, because he can’t hear himself talking. By 2020 Kelvin had lost all the clarity in his vision. Despite all his trials and difficulties, Kelvin still says, “it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood”.

Kelvin is the DeafBlind Potter
The DeafBlind Potter was established on December 1st, 2020. In its first four days on TikTok, the company gained over ten thousand followers; Kelvin’s initial three videos received more than one million views. The DeafBlind Potter platform was designed to be an inspiration and encouragement to help others live beyond their challenges just like Kelvin, the original deafblind potter. At the time, Kelvin didn’t realize people wanted to purchase the pottery pieces that he crafted during the creation of his social media posts. This desire eventually opened the door for the foundation of the DeafBlind Potter shop. Within three months of its existence on TikTok, the DeafBlind Potter has grown almost two hundred thousand followers. Join and support Kelvin on this journey with the DeafBlind Potter by following him on social media, liking his videos, and purchasing one-of-a-kind pottery pieces, as well as other merchandise. Most of these proceeds benefit the deafblind community by funding the production of the See Me Cane™.
Kelvin Invented the See Me Cane
Kelvin is the visionary CEO and Founder of Smart Guider Inc., a pioneering company responsible for the creation of the innovative lighted white cane, also known as the blind cane. His inspiration stems from personal experience, having been struck by vehicles on three separate occasions due to his legal blindness. Recognizing the urgent need for safer navigation tools for the visually impaired, Kelvin invented the See Me Cane and established Smart Guider Inc. Under his leadership, the company is dedicated to enhancing the safety and independence of individuals with visual impairments, striving to make the world a safer place for everyone.
Kelvin founded Living Beyond The Label
As Kelvin says, “Go live beyond your challenges.” It’s a daily battle to overcome the label of DeafBlindness. Because Kelvin does not let this categorization stop him from conquering his challenges, he established his own company — Living Beyond The Label — to help people with disabilities recognize their potential and live beyond their labels.
Kelvin saw an opportunity to make the DeafBlind Potter and use his story to build a business that allows people to be inspired. Living Beyond The Label is a platform that provides the structure to empower someone with a disability to take an idea and make it happen, just like Kelvin did.
