Disability Justice by Design is a collective working at the intersection of disability justice, systems design, and survival.

More than 30% of the global population already lives with a disability. As climate catastrophe, pandemics, war, and institutional breakdown accelerate, disability is becoming the rule rather than the exception. The myth of the “normal,” able-bodied human is collapsing.

Disabled and chronically ill people have always lived at the edge of system failure. We have built ways of surviving where access is denied, care is scarce, and time is uncertain. Those strategies of interdependence, flexibility, care-centered design, and refusal of productivity myths are not weaknesses. They are blueprints for the future.

We solve problems together, as disabled and chronically ill creatives, because no one survives alone.

And also because justice designed without us will fail.

We do serious work. We reject scarcity thinking. We believe joy is not a distraction from survival.

We love avocados, as a rule.
