I design and facilitate processes that help communities generate knowledge about their own futures, through academic research, a community visioning session, or a participatory workshop. While the context might differ, the methodology remains the same: disabled communities as knowledge architects, not research subjects.

Recent work includes a study with 78 disabled creatives across four East London boroughs, a community futures session for The Wick, co-facilitation of Publishing for All Bodies and Minds at Libros Mutantes in Madrid with Able Zine, and ongoing research work at Loughborough University.

Building brands and communications where disabled communities are centred from the ground up; not as an audience to reach, but as the foundation from which everything is built.

At Understood.org I did this at scale: developing accessible brand guidelines, human-centred content and product frameworks, and inclusive practices that held across every channel and output the organisation produced. It is detailed, systemic work that touches everything from visual identity to how a team talks about the people it serves.

Talks and facilitated workshops on disability-centred design, crip futures, participatory practice, and the role of disabled communities in shaping culture and innovation. Available for academic programmes, design conferences, and cultural institutions.

I speak from an active research and practice base. Recent engagements include the Loughborough University Flux Design Symposium, a co-design workshop with Sony, and S-I-D-D.org’s inaugural industry event with panellists from Google, Mima Group, and DeafCity Hub.
