Dyslexic Design

Dyslexic Design changing perceptions of dyslexia. Here, designers' works are enriched and made possible by the creative thinking of a dyslexic mind. Dyslexic Design celebrates dyslexia. We reveal it as a gift. Dyslexia can be a daily challenge for the dyslexic but it can also be a gift. The design and creative industries have a close association with dyslexia as many of the world’s leading designers and artists are dyslexic. During 2016's London Design Festival, Dyslexic Design changed perceptions of dyslexia by celebrating its many benefits while accentuating its positive impact. This took the form of showcasing dyslexic designers' works across several disciplines including product, fashion, illustration, architecture, home decor and fine art. The exhibition took place from 22nd to 25th September. The space was designed by Ab Rogers Design. Designjunction hosted our show at their magnificent Kings Cross venue. Londonewcastle funded our event. Dyslexic Designers' work is enriched with the unexpected, only made possible by the lateral thinking of a dyslexic mind. For several of these leading designers, this will be the first time they publicly declare themselves as dyslexic. Many of the works also demonstrate unusual three-dimensional thinking. We celebrate the connection between dyslexia and creativity.
