Retrophiliac

Retrophiliac by Margaux Wosk stands as a pioneering business, proudly owned by an Autistic individual. Specializing in distinctive enamel pins, patches, stickers, and more, our product line takes a dedicated approach to addressing communication needs, Autism, Disability, identities, pronouns, LGBTQIA2+, and beyond. Margaux is passionately committed to challenging narrow perspectives that limit the potential of disabled and neurodivergent individuals to traditional employment. Our overarching goal is to shatter stigma by showcasing the possibilities of self-employment. Margaux envisions establishing a mentorship program with an integrated grant, nurturing the incubation, development, and realization of ideas from disabled and neurodivergent creators. Upholding the principle of "nothing about us without us," we recognize that our own community members are best positioned to serve and innovate for us. We represent an untapped source of genuine innovation, making us the ideal choice for supporting and uplifting our diverse and vibrant community. Notably, Retrophiliac items are available in over 45 retail stores across the United States and Canada. Margaux's impactful journey has been featured in AMI's Our Community Episode titled "We Belong," and their neurodiversity pride pin has earned a spot in the Museum of Vancouver's openMOV exhibit. Margaux's dedication has also been recognized through various grants, and they have emerged as a finalist for several prestigious awards.
