About this episode
Grace Brown discusses her work on accessibility for deaf and neurodivergent learners and her upcoming Fellowship in the UK.
Grace Brown is a 2025 Winston Churchill Fellow whose work focuses on reimagining accessibility for deaf and neurodivergent learners. She brings a rare blend of creative agency experience, kaupapa‑driven communication, and lived expertise as a multilingual, neurodivergent Māori communicator. Grace has worked across some of Aotearoa’s most recognisable campaigns, weaving together English, te reo Māori, and New Zealand Sign Language to make information clearer, kinder, and more culturally grounded. Her Fellowship will take her to the UK to explore how AR, digital media, and global accessibility design can transform the way we teach and learn NZSL back home.
