Wishing Well Collective is a disability- and queer-owned consulting studio reimagining access in the beauty and fashion industries (and beyond).

Founded by former Special Educator and disabled creator Ashton McGrady and Occupational Therapist and creator Kailey Waskall, their work bridges clinical insight, lived experience, and creative strategy to help brands build access into the heart of what they do.

We offer accessibility audits, strategy sessions, educational workshops, downloadable resources, and content collaborations that center disabled consumers at every stage.

From packaging to product development, brand activations to social media, we help our clients move from performative inclusion to meaningful, lasting change.

At Wishing Well Collective,

access isn’t just a checklist.

Design Can Be Magical

Function and beauty aren’t opposites—we help brands create both.

Access Is for Every Body

Access should never be conditional. Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and seen.
