Services
From interdisciplinary fellowships to industry training and resource development, we bring together disabled and non-disabled designers, engineers, and occupational therapists to collaboratively create solutions that enhance independence, dignity, and self-expression.
Education & Training
Stakeholder Interviews, Ideation Sessions and Accessibility Frameworks
We educate designers, researchers, engineers, medical practitioners, and industry to co-design with the community. Through educational programs, interactive talks, hands-on workshops, and training, we inspire inclusive methodologies in academia and industry while including people with disabilities at every stage of the process.
Resource Dissemination
Frameworks, Journals, Guides
We equip our community and industry with valuable tools and knowledge. By creating and sharing informative journals, curricula, and practical frameworks, we provide resources that empower disabled communities, designers, and industry professionals alike.
Research & Innovation
Market/Ethnographic Research, Design Research
We collaborate with the community to explore how style impacts well-being, social participation, and stigma. Through surveys, focus groups, workshops, and co-creations, we gather insights and develop innovative solutions that are both functional and aesthetically desirable. We showcase how material technology can be applied to use cases that forward innovation in both fashion and disability led design.
Advocacy & Awareness
Panels/Talks, Events, Showcasing
Open Style Lab serves as a bridge to educate the public about disability and inclusive design practices. We engage audiences through talks, workshops, and exhibits, fostering understanding and advocating for a more inclusive world.
