Art is power
Access is justice

We’re designing for both

What We Do

We design multisensory experiences that enable people of all abilities to equally participate in art’s beauty and power.

By reimagining the boundaries of accessibility, we challenge the prevailing norms that dictate who has access to and can experience art. Everyone deserves the opportunity to engage in and be inspired by creative expression.

Photography and Poetry—Beyond the Visual

The images below are a small glimpse of our work, raising questions about whether one needs to see to experience the photographic arts and poetry.

A close-up photograph shows a person's finger gently touching the surface of a tactile print. The image captures a richly textured and embossed photograph of a stone and brick pathway, printed in warm earth tones of burnt orange, copper, and brown. The tactile surface includes raised brick-like shapes embedded within a pebbled texture, inviting both visual and haptic exploration. The lighting is low and directional, casting soft shadows that highlight the dimensionality of the print and the subtle sheen of the raised areas. The skin tone of the finger adds contrast to the warm, rocky surface, emphasizing the interaction between body and material. This intimate moment conveys the sensory intention behind the design — allowing touch to become a primary mode of reading and interpretation.
A handmade, spiral-bound artist book is open to a two-page spread. On the left page, printed on matte black paper, is a poem titled “Between The World’s Weight” in white sans-serif type. The layout features intentional spacing and line breaks that reflect the rhythm of the poem. A single bullet point begins the first line, and the text is arranged in a flush-left, vertical flow that feels contemplative and spacious. On the right page is a richly detailed photograph of a single golden leaf resting against a red brick wall. The leaf is dried, veined, and partially translucent, with thin vine-like tendrils stretching across the image. A thick white border frames the photograph, providing contrast against the dark poem page. The book sits in a black presentation box with gray book board exposed, emphasizing the tactile and archival nature of the design.
The same handmade, spiral-bound artist book is open to a different two-page spread. On the left page, a poem titled “We Didn’t Lock The Door” is printed in white sans-serif type on matte dark down paper. A bullet point introduces the first stanza, and the text flows in a centered, vertical layout with poetic spacing and line breaks. On the right page is a mixed-media photograph featuring a close-up of a door partially boarded with chipboard. Transparent tape, a clear glass bottle, and a faint pencil-and-watercolor sketch of a yellow garment overlap the surface, creating layers of meaning and material. The textures—gritty wood, soft paper, smooth glass—convey a tactile sense of place and memory. Like the previous spread, the photograph is bordered in white, emphasizing contrast and balance within the spread. The book’s physical structure and design continue to convey intimacy, memory, and materiality.

Why We Do It

Art and creative expression intricately weave into the human experience — and has transformative power, personally and societally. However, people with disabilities face barriers in engaging with art: physical limitations, limited options, and negative attitudes. We’re here to break those barriers and create inclusive art experiences for all.

How We Work

We are hard at work in our (virtual) lab exploring, experimenting, and prototyping.

Designing accessible art experiences often means innovating from the ground up. Traditional methods and solutions tend to isolate people who society doesn’t deem as “normal.”

Partner With Advocates

We produce our work by collaborating with partners who serve disability communities, gaining insights from their knowledge and experience. We also work closely with printers, fabricators, and other production professionals to bring our designs to life.

Partner With Community Members

We actively involve people with disabilities in the design process to ensure we include their voice during the design process. Usability testing is a critical step in our prototyping.

What if design wasn’t about solving problems, but revealing them—uncovering the hidden systems of inaccessibility?

Our Process

Standard methods, materials, and production processes are not inherently geared toward accessibility.

So, we must be resourceful and imaginative in overcoming these challenges. As we explore, experiment, and prototype new approaches, we must also be willing to pivot. Designing a new solution can often mean encountering failures during the design phase. We see these moments as learning opportunities ushering in the ability to perfect our concept.

This journey demands patience and time as we strive to achieve true accessibility — and shift the way the world creates art.

How We Teach People

Part of our mission is to teach others about the importance of accessibility — and how to achieve your vision. Through speaking engagements and workshops, we can help your team gain knowledge that improves your projects and achieves your equity goals.

Public Speaking

Whether you seek a keynote speaker or a guest lecture, we can help inspire your team while sharing accessibility ideas, thoughts, and methodologies.

Workshops

Sometimes, the best way to learn is to dive into the work. We can support your training goals by designing workshops to meet your accessibility language and design needs.
