Within this session we will speak to 3 designers and user researchers who are neurodivergent to hear about their experiences navigating workplaces, how to make workplaces more inclusive for neurodivergent people, and myths about their strengths and weaknesses and how that intersects with their job roles.

Chad is a user researcher based in Sheffield in the UK. They have been working in tech for over a decade as a developer and accessibility consultant, tester and specialist. They do talks on inclusive design for transgender people, the importance of user research and most recently on using game design to improve accessibility awareness training. In their spare time they are interested in gaming and game accessibility, as well as LBGTQ+ and disability rights.
Claire is a Senior UX Consultant at cxpartners in Bristol, UK and has worked in UX for over a decade, with expertise in research, design and inclusivity. She’s particularly interested in ethical design and tech, and uses inclusive practices to create products and services that lead to more equitable outcomes. She leads cxpartners’ inclusivity Community of Practice which aims to develop their practitioner’s understanding and expertise in inclusive research and design, and develop more a more diverse and inclusive workplace. A late ADHD diagnosis has introduced her to neuroinclusion in the workplace, and she’s trying to drive change within consultancy environments to make workplaces and the work we do more inclusive for all.
Shannon is originally from the USA and currently based out of Amsterdam. She works in user research operations at IKEA, with one area of focus supporting inclusive, diverse, and equitable research. She’s always had a love and curiosity for people of all backgrounds and places and how they live their lives, which led me into UX research where she hopes to stay for a while.
Outside of work, she loves being outdoors - hiking, climbing or snowboarding. She indulges in spicy food often and aims to pet as many dogs as possible.
After spending years attending conferences and learning from others, she’s trying her hand at being a speaker for the first time.
