Divergent By Design
A tactile card pack exploring ADHD and dyslexia through lived experience, not textbook definitions.
This project explores the lived experiences of people with ADHD and dyslexia through a tactile, accessible card pack designed to challenge the limits of traditional educational resources.
Inspired by the lack of authenticity in clinical sources like textbooks and NHS websites, the cards are rooted in real stories gathered from over 40 respondents. Building on my earlier editorial work around ADHD, the focus shifted toward capturing the complexity and individuality of neurodivergence through lived experience, not textbook definitions.
The result is a visually engaging, easy-to-navigate format that encourages empathy, challenges stereotypes, and offers practical, relatable insight for both neurodivergent and neurotypical audiences. By centring neurodivergent voices, this project promotes inclusive communication and rethinks how invisible disabilities are represented in design.
