Our Story
Our journey began in 2018 when our Founder Lianna Genovese met Elissa, a woman with Cerebral Palsy who loves to paint. As her condition progressed, she experienced spasticity and weakness in her hand, making holding and using a paintbrush impossible.
Elissa had lost her confidence, passion, and creativity. Inspired to reignite Elissa’s passion, Lianna created the company’s first product, Guided Hands®. Elissa is amongst millions of people with a medical condition or injury experiencing limited hand mobility. A few months later, Lianna met Bella, a girl with Cerebral Palsy at McMaster Children's Hospital.
Lianna Says
“As soon as she painted, the widest smile spread across her face. She first painted, then used a pencil to write and then played a game on her iPad. She turned to her mom and said “Mom, I want one. In that moment I found my passion and knew I had to bring this product to the world and help others like Bella.”
A week later, Lianna founded ImaginAble Solutions in 2019, marking the beginning of the company's journey to empower individuals with disabilities to live the life they imagine.
