Projects
We've executed projects and used creativity to demonstrate our unique understanding of diversity.
My Friend is a Superhero
You know how kids stare at people in wheelchairs and aren't sure what to say? Well, we want to change that. We want kids to run up to people in wheelchairs and say, “Wow! You must be a superhero!”
If you use a wheelchair and the worst happened...
A site for Aucklanders who use a wheelchair designed to increase resilience in the unlikely occurrence of an emergency. Commissioned by Auckland Emergency Management.
