Disabled-led design & research studio.

A looping slideshow of disabled people in different settings: a person with a prosthetic hand petting a fluffy dog among friends; two wheelchair users laughing over coffee; two people in a lively conversation using sign language; two people walking in a park, one using a cane.

Crip Works builds accessible methods that go beyond compliance. We work with cultural organisations ready for disabled creatives to lead, not just take part. Because a sector shaped by disabled creatives works better for everyone in it. 

About

Participatory
methods

We work with disabled creative practitioners and facilitate democratic co-production to turn their knowledge into insights your team can act on. Engagement can be a one-off or continue as a project develops. 

 

Includes: participatory workshops, interviews, qualitative research, access planning, insights reports, and lived experience panels.

Accessible
design

We audit and redesign digital products, publications, communications, experiences, and events, reviewing each round with disabled practitioners to keep improving.

 

Includes: accessibility audits, accessible print and digital communications, event access, inclusive and accessible production, redesign, and recommendations.

Training, talks
& workshops

Access and inclusion training, led by disabled practitioners and built on our research. Your team leaves able to plan access first and to work with disabled creatives and staff as authors, not consultees. 

 

Includes: in-house training, participatory workshops, guest lectures, and talks.

WHAT WE DO

why disabled creatives?

Creative practitioners turn lived experience into something others can see, use, or build from.
That's
a hard skill, & it’s what our work is built on.
