THIS IS A MESSAGE TO YOUNG PEOPLE

Welcome to Design With Us!

disability and design is an amaZing combination

We are an organization that gives disabled youth a chance to learn how to design. Have you ever noticed that the world wasn’t designed for disabled people? We want to help you think about fun and helpful ways to create something for yourself.

We are a growing community

We hold workshops in-person and online to give young people a chance to not only get creative but to also meet other people in the disability community. Sometimes it can feel like you’re alone, but there are hundreds and thousands of other youth who know what it’s like to be disabled. Design With Us is working hard to create opportunities for you to connect.

We created a design consultancy

Workshop participants who really love to design have an opportunity to expand their skills by joining our Make Just Right youth design consultancy. Our members have been hired to give input on design concepts, speak at events and even submit scholarly articles.

 

We can’t wait to meet you in person. In the meantime, let an adult in your life know you’re interested in taking part in Design With Us!
