Toyosi Badejo-Okusanya

Bio: Toyosi Badejo-Okusanya is a deaf Nigerian technologist, accessibility strategist, and founder of Adaptive Atelier, a consultancy redefining how digital experiences are designed, tested, and experienced by disabled people. With 9+ years across global marketing, e-commerce, and accessibility, she has worked with brands including Estée Lauder/Jo Malone London, MAC Cosmetics UK, Sephora, The Body Shop, Space NK, Channel 4, and the Paralympic Games 2024 — delivering campaigns and inclusive digital experiences rooted in her belief that accessibility is a strategic advantage, not a compliance checkbox. At Adaptive Atelier, Toyosi built tools that pair AI with insights from disabled experts, helping companies resolve accessibility issues with precision while creating paid opportunities for disabled professionals. Her superpower: centering the expertise of the disabled community to make digital spaces genuinely inclusive and usable. She serves on the Advisory Board of SignHealth UK and shares her journey through the series Sound Through My Lens. Her work has been featured in Tech Cabal, Marie Claire Nigeria, and i-D Italy. Split between Lagos and London, Toyosi champions a world where accessibility is a standard, not a favour. Description of business: Adaptive Atelier is an accessibility technology company I founded to help close the gap between the $13 trillion disability market and a digital world where 97% of the internet remains inaccessible. Our products—AdaptiveWiz, AdaptiveTest, and AdaptiveAlly—help businesses build more inclusive digital experiences. AdaptiveAlly also creates paid opportunities for disabled professionals to contribute their expertise. As a deaf founder, I’m building for a community I’ve lived in, not just researched. What sets us apart is that we don’t just design for disabled people—we pay them to help build the future of accessibility.
