Our story
We got tired of answering the same questions.
So we built something that answers them for everyone.

Justin grew up Deaf and turned his experiences into comedy. His skits about navigating the hearing world. The awkward moments, the misconceptions, the things people say. They resonated with millions. Deaf and non-Deaf alike. Because the truth is funny. And most people had no idea they were part of the joke.
Comment after comment, DM after DM. The same questions. The same fears. People wanted to do better but didn't know how.

Patrick built his following by doing one thing: answering people's questions about Deafness. Honestly, directly, with humor. And the questions never stopped coming. Is it okay to ask? Should I speak louder? Can Deaf people drive? What do I do when I meet a Deaf person?
The same questions. Over and over. From people who genuinely wanted to know but were too afraid to ask in real life.
Why we built SignHello
Between the two of us, we've reached over 3 million people online. And the thing we kept hearing was the same: people are afraid to approach us. Afraid to say the wrong thing. Afraid to offend. So they say nothing. They avoid. They stare or they look away.
That fear comes from not knowing. And not knowing comes from never being taught.
SignHello fixes that. Short lessons built from real questions real people have asked us. No textbooks. No lectures. Just the stuff that actually matters when you're standing in front of a Deaf person and want to get it right.
