Neuroaffirming
by design.

Building for clarity and genuine inclusion. It's been part of how I work from the start.

lived experience

Built from lived experience.

I'm Autistic, and I bring that lived understanding to everything I build. Neuroaffirming design is how I approach every project from the start. Clear language, predictable layouts, genuine accessibility.

what this looks like in practice

Plain language first

No jargon, no assumed knowledge. Copy that communicates clearly without talking down to anyone.

Predictable, calm layouts

Visual hierarchy that guides rather than overwhelms. Animation that can be reduced without losing function.

Genuine WCAG compliance

Colour contrast, focus states, keyboard navigation, screen reader support - built in, not bolted on.

Sensory consideration

No autoplay, no flashing, no sudden sounds. Designs that don't create unnecessary sensory load.

Flexible forms

Forms with clear labels, forgiving error messages, and time to think.

Consultative process

I check in clearly, communicate in whatever format works for you, and stay present through the whole project.

Working with me as a neurodivergent client

Come as you are. Async communication works. Late replies are fine. Take the time you need. Clear, direct communication is the norm here.

Your project deserves this from the start.
