Get to know NeuroPlaces' ambassadors, champions of neuroinclusion within various fields.
Hear from real voices shaping more inclusive spaces.

Ariane Sanders
Interior Designer & Founder, Sonda Studio
"I specialise in sensory-aware workplace
design. My brain works in an atypical, highly intuitive way, and I experience the world intensely through my senses.
That perspective shapes how I design and gives me a deep awareness of how environments influence clarity, comfort and emotional balance.
I’m most inspired when I’m out in nature it’s where I feel energised, grounded and connected. My aim is to design workplaces that reduce overwhelm, support clearer thinking and help people feel grounded and connected."

Dan Smith
Neurodiversity Advocate, Trade Union Health & Safety Rep Coordinator & Supervisor,
"I have firsthand experience of dyslexia, ADHD, and Tourette’s syndrome. I champion support for neurodiverse individuals, especially within the workforce.
I focus on implementing reasonable adjustments for neurodiverse employees at Babcock; transforming interview processes, providing preparatory materials, etc.
I also co-founded a neurodiverse network that has won "Most Inclusive Project" at the 2022 National Celebrating Neurodiversity Awards and “Neurodiversity Employer” at the 2023 National Celebrating Neurodiversity Awards."

Richie Maybank
Founder, Seats at the Table
"I am the founder of Seats at the Table, a consultancy and training company dedicated to making customer and employee experiences more neuro inclusive.
I have spent over a decade working alongside families, employees, and businesses, and have seen first hand the inequalities in how people access life enriching experiences.
This insight, shaped by lived experience as well as professional practice, informs my work with organisations across hospitality, retail, transport, and live entertainment, helping them make thoughtful, practical changes that enable more people to take part, feel welcome, and belong."

Lily Hitchcock
Founder, Seen.
"I am the founder of Seen., a creative studio focused on branding, content and marketing strategy for businesses that want to feel more human.
I am neurodivergent and passionate about creating inclusive, thoughtful work that actually makes sense to real people.
Outside of work, I love being in nature, spending time with family, and indulging in fashion and interiors. I believe that creativity thrives when we’re supported, understood, and free to be ourselves."
