Welcome to Happy Space where we talk about designing inclusion

A Happy Space is a place, culture, or experience that invites one’s richest

contribution. Too often our environments are overwhelming and dare I say,

toxic, inviting us to burn out or opt out, when in fact, we’ve been designed

out.

This is especially true for those blessed and challenged with a neurodivergent mind…thank you late-diagnosis of autism with a side order of ADHD. My life makes so much more sense now.

As someone who also lives with a, so far, and I’d love to keep it that way, non-visible disability,

I find that the world has truly not been built with us in mind… and it’s becoming increasingly inhospitable.

That said, there are many forward thinkers in the world who understand this opportunity to

design inclusion. And as you can imagine, I have questions!

Happy Space is here to bring you answers through conversations with these thought leaders,

designers, and a whole host of professionals who shape spaces, curate culture, and engineer experience.

If you’re someone who wants to inspire a more hospitable world, you’re in the right

place, and I’m so pleased you’re here.

After all, doesn’t everyone deserve a Happy Space?
