The Misfits Studio
Building neuro-inclusive cultures that transform how humans work, lead, and belong
We help organizations redesign how people work, connect, and create together. Through facilitation, coaching, and systemic redesign, we turn workplaces into ecosystems where clarity, trust, and creativity can thrive.
Why It Matters
For too long, organizations have treated neurodivergence as something to fix after the fact, offering accommodations only once someone struggles or discloses. This reactive approach reinforces stigma, isolates individuals, and leaves systemic barriers untouched.
At The Misfits Studio, we see it differently. Neurodivergence isn’t a problem to solve, it’s a natural expression of human diversity. The barriers live in systems, not in people.
The future of work belongs to organizations that design for difference from the start, weaving safety, clarity, and creativity into every layer of how they operate. Neuroinclusive system design is the next frontier of organizational evolution, unlocking hidden creativity, resilience, and belonging.
When systems become more human, everyone thrives.
Our Approach
Our work is guided by six design principles that turn belonging into structure:
-> Universal Accessibility
Design workspaces, technology, and processes to be sensory-friendly and cognitively clear by default, adjustable lighting, quiet zones, transparent communication, flexible rhythms.
-> Psychological Safety
We build cultures where vulnerability is normalized and co-regulation replaces judgment. Safety is the precondition for performance and innovation.
-> Strengths-Based Individualization at Scale
Move beyond one-size-fits-all roles. We help teams redesign work to leverage diverse cognitive strengths, allowing each person to contribute in ways that align with how their brain works best.
-> Co-Creation and Ongoing Feedback Loops
We don’t design for people; we design with them. Neurodivergent employees become co-architects of policies, workflows, and environments. Inclusion becomes iterative, a living system that learns.
-> Systems over Symptoms
We look upstream. Instead of managing burnout, turnover, or conflict reactively, we identify and redesign the systemic patterns causing them, from meeting structures to decision-making models.
-> Embodiment as Intelligence
We treat the nervous system as a leadership tool. Through somatic awareness, leaders learn to regulate, sense complexity, and lead with clarity and care.
What We Offer
Every offer we design helps organizations embed accessibility, clarity, and psychological safety into the DNA of how work happens.
Neuro-inclusive
Culture Design
We explore what’s working, what’s not, and where barriers live inside your systems. Then, we co-design new frameworks for communication, meetings, role design, and feedback.
What this looks like:
Culture and policy audits through a neurodiversity lens
Inclusive meeting and decision-making design
Co-created culture playbook + implementation roadmap
Outcome:
A clear, living framework that transforms “culture” from concept to practice, where every brain can work, lead, and thrive.
