With an all-Disabled team based across Belfast, Berlin, Glasgow, London, and Trim, they craft solutions with Disabled people to build an accessible and equitable world.

The work ranges from creating more accessible environments (such as headquarters, retail, production, film sets, hotels and nightclubs, galleries, playgrounds and other public spaces); building confidence in employing Disabled people and advising on required systemic changes within the recruitment journey, workflows, and culture to set Disabled talent up for success.

Over the last four years, Sinéad has also hosted the podcast ‘As Me with Sinéad Burke’ forLemonada Media, and published a best-selling and award-winning book for children, ‘Break the Mould’.
