Kae Tran is a Toronto-based Accessibility Strategist and Art Director working at the intersection of creative strategy, inclusive design, and lived expertise. Drawing on her background in advertising and design alongside her experience as a disabled woman of colour, she helps brands, organizations, and institutions build more inclusive products, communications, and experiences.
Her approach is rooted in the belief that accessibility is not a compliance exercise; it's a design, business, and leadership challenge. By combining strategic thinking with universal design principles informed by lived experience, Kae helps organizations move beyond intention and build experiences that work better for disabled people, and ultimately for everyone.
Her advocacy began through her own experience navigating a world not built for disabled bodies. What started as self-advocacy while living with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy grew into a broader practice centred on authentic representation and disability justice.
With a background in advertising and design from OCAD University, Kae has built an interdisciplinary practice spanning art direction, branding, creative projects, writing, modelling, and speaking. She has spoken for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, AccessFest, and the University of Toronto Scarborough, and has been featured in NOW Magazine, Yahoo Style Canada, and The Kit.
