Inclusive Design: A Cross-Disciplinary Exploration

The primary objective of this project was to create an inclusive platform that celebrates the contributions of neurodivergent professionals within the Fashion, Art, and Design industry.  The goals of the project were to empower neurodivergent students by providing role models who have successfully integrated their neurodivergence into their professional careers, to foster meaningful dialogue on diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry, particularly focusing on neurodivergence and to create opportunities for career development and networking with industry professionals who understand and support neurodivergent students' unique challenges and talents.
