Gem and Arlo talk about navigating the current climate as trans and neurodivergent folk, the importance of community and solidarity, and how inclusivity should be the default in all spaces because it benefits everyone. They chat about how the business world often gatekeeps knowledge, Arlo's openness to sharing their experience to support other self-employed creatives, and how much better the world would be if we all acted more like Paddington. Plus lots more!
Arlo West (they/them) is a freelance graphic designer and founder of Studio Arlo, where they offer sh*t hot branding and web design to queer, trans and neurodivergent individuals and small businesses. They are also a Director of Trans Pride Manchester and the founder of Not Your Business, a community for queer, trans and neurodivergent creative freelancers.
