Inclusion should never depend on disclosure.

The tools I create, like pins, stickers or wearable communication aids, are meant to support self-advocacy on your own terms. They are not about labels or assumptions. They exist to make space for clearer, more comfortable interactions when you choose to share something about yourself.

You should not have to explain who you are just to be treated with dignity. But when you want to express a need, set a boundary or be understood without having to repeat yourself, these tools can help bridge that gap.

We should never shame anyone for how they choose to advocate for themselves. Everyone communicates differently, and everyone deserves access in ways that feel right for them.

Accessibility is not one-size-fits-all. It should offer options, not conditions.

You deserve to be seen, heard and respected, whether you disclose or not.

That was a long day, but such a rewarding one. Whenever I'm surrounded by people who genuinely value my work and are committed to accessibility, it fills my heart with so much joy.

It’s actually incredible to see how “my disability is not your inspiration” design has been so popular today. I’m very grateful.

This is my outfit today, I’m incredibly comfortable. It’s pretty exciting that these pants are so trendy right now because it literally feels just like wearing pyjama pants.

It’s a real hot take to get mad about disability tools.
Edit: totally valid to be mad about pricing and availability.

People sometimes get mad at me about my tools I design…. So this was me responding to that 💕

Hi everyone! Would anyone be willing to help me share this on the right side of the platform? I’d love for it to reach the people who would truly benefit from it. Thanks so much in advance!
