The Future of fashion is inclusive.

Rooted in universal design principles, Vollbrecht Adaptive Consulting is an adaptive consulting firm that works with brands and organizations looking to reach the 15% of the world population with a disability.

We work with clients that are looking to ease into inclusive updates through product evaluation and marketing revisions, all the way to clients looking to establish or expand their adaptive collections. In addition, we do guest lectures, workshops, and panels to help universities and groups incorporate adaptive design and disability inclusion into their curricula and organizational activities.

Over the past 3 years, we have worked with a variety of clients, all with their own unique approach to disability inclusion. More information on the type of work done with each client can be found below or on our clients page.
