About

about-page.gif

We are disabled research, design, and creative practitioners dedicated to building accessible methods that go beyond compliance. Our approach grew out of a year of academic research, based on the voices of 78 disabled creatives in East London, where disabled experience was positioned as expertise rather than deficit.

 

Crip:Works sits at the intersection of community knowledge and creation, turning lived experience into methods that shape the future.

WHAT WE DO

Accessible design

By bringing lived expertise from disabled people into strategy, systems, and product development, we can help clients move beyond compliance through collaborative audits and redesign.

Participatory methods

Through structured, co-design workshops, disabled people shape the solution as authors, not consultees. Solving real problems for the organisations we work with.

Access & inclusion training

During hands-on sessions with practical tools, we help build in-house capability, so teams can continue working confidently with disabled creatives and disabled staff long after training ends.

Design foresight & strategy

With speculative and foresight methods led by disabled practitioners, we help organisations plan for what comes next.

why disabled creatives?

Creative practitioners turn lived experience into something others can see, use, or build from.
That's
a hard skill.

UPCOMING EVENT

EAST LONDON REPORT-draft 01-2026 1.png

We will be hosting an event for the disabled creative community to present research findings from the East London report. The presentation will be followed by a community workshop, in which participants will imagine Creative Crip Futures, identify shared priorities, and next steps.

We're still taking shape. If you're curious, critical, or both, we'd like to hear from you.
