On 13th October 2024, in recognition of Dyslexia Awareness Week, I shared my personal experience of being a dyslexic designer and digital marketer.
Inspired by The Jamie Oliver Group’s campaign highlighting Jamie Oliver’s dyslexia journey, I created a short video to open up the conversation around learning differences in creative and professional spaces. The aim was to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and show how dyslexia can be a strength rather than a limitation.
Dyslexia has shaped the way I think, design and problem solve. It has strengthened my creativity, resilience and ability to approach challenges from different perspectives. Sharing my story was an important step in advocating for more inclusive and accessible design practices.
For those seeking further guidance and support, I also highlighted the work of Made By Dyslexia, an organisation championing dyslexic thinking and empowering individuals to recognise their potential.
Opening up this conversation was both personal and purposeful, reinforcing my commitment to inclusive communication and thoughtful design.
