We are passionate about getting disabled people into actual work, and creating careers rather than just jobs.

Last year, Netflix partnered with Making Space to launch a tutorial program aimed at expanding education and career access for d/Disabled graphic designers interested in the film and entertainment industry.

The program addresses barriers in the industry, including institutional biases and financial and regional accessibility issues, with a focus on creating accessible pathways into entertainment for d/Disabled artists based on talent and merit.

Netflix, Making Space Partner on Tutorial to Expand Graphic Design Education for Disabled Artists (Exclusive)
Developed using Netflix’s own design standards and produced by a disabled and women-led team from Intuition Films and Making Space Media, the five-course program will teach disabled artists essential elements of key art creation, with the potential for temporary contract opportunities at the streamer.

Making Space has previously worked on creating talent pipelines for d/Disabled creatives and has partnerships with other organizations in the entertainment industry. Their aim is to bridge the education-employment divide for d/Disabled individuals and create lasting careers in the industry.
