Inclusive design can revolutionise your organisation, ignite innovation and creativity, and foster belonging and connection.

Deborah Campbell is a designer, consultant and educator committed to an inclusive practice to change design narratives and systems to impact cultural change. A futurist who cares about how people find belonging and connection in a world that can often feel oppressive. She opens eyes to things that are not always obvious using radical design questioning, leading and sense-making in an age of grave uncertainty. She empowers businesses, education and organisations to see and work with their unseen audience through her four-step inclusive design programme called CARE. Deborah believes design futures must be rooted in working ‘with’ people from Neurodiverse and Disabled communities rather than ‘for’ them.

Deborah is a sustainable fashion supply chain specialist, a product management Teaching Fellow in Fashion Marketing and Management at Winchester School of Art and an academic co-author of a chapter titled sustainability and the supply chain. . She is currently embedding regenerative leadership and design into her practice having completed Laura Storms year long regenerative leadership course in 2022, A member of FACE, (Fashion academics creating equality) and a Royal Society of Arts member.

Being a neurodivergent creative, Deborah cares deeply about the effects of not having an inclusive design practice. She has first-hand knowledge of the debilitating impact that stigma, bias and ableism can have on neurodiverse people in the workplace and society. On numerous occasions, this negative impact has blocked her neurodivergent creativity leaving her unable to fully contribute in the workplace. She hopes inclusive design will eradicate the stigma, bias and ableism and liberate design futures.
