Welcome to Applied

Applied is a thread dedicated to considering how the perspectives, strategies and tools of disability can assist in world-building.

As a father, husband and entrepreneur with vision and hearing disabilities, I spend my days contributing to the ecosystem that helps people with disabilities participate and contribute fully to life on our planet.

I created Applied to explore the junctions where disability legislation, design, enterprise, community services and social innovation meet, creating one of the largest and most misunderstood communities and market forces in our world.
