I am a designer and I have a disability, but it does not prevent me from achieving my goals. The only disability is when your mind prevents you from doing things that you can do.
Sincerily, I do not have disability about doing my work. But I do not have a lot of time to do everything for everyone and I cannot be “Everywhere” instantly, here, alone. Until my new job does not improve to important earnings, I have to continue following directions from bosses of my main job and work everyday in the long and unavoidable routine drawings tasks I have to do. Neither I cannot pay anyone to do that and I never done that.
Anyway, yes, I’m with psichiatric regularly from decades, few times per years at this days, they discovered much time ago some cronic psichic disorders on my end.
Usually this does not have to do with complaints I report. If I report something I do as I know is wrong and it is wrong.
Moreover I like when is not to be intended as me wrong just because I’m with this disease. I work as a designer and I really do not feel “Separated” from any other designer. I notice it sometimes also dealing with other professionals.
Pischiatry it is very complex. And, however, total disability is something else. Me and my body was saved from medicine in my life for other cases, it’s not the case to go in deep…
I noticed just some psico medicine/drug makes me very tired…
I’m also 50 years old at this days…

Hello… My name is Clay Westfall, and I run the Squidpaint shop. After 22 years of service in the United States Navy, I was medically retired due to disabilities from my service in the Submarine force and the Persian Gulf. I would have stayed in the Navy forever, but my lungs were shot due to burn pits, radiation and asbestos exposure. After looking for ways to supplement my income, I found Zazzle! Zazzle has been so much fun to do, and as my shop and my experience grows, so will my income. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your great community. I highly recommend it to anyone!
Although my store isn’t specifically for people with disabilities, I believe in supporting this community, which is why I’m working to incorporate messages of awareness and empowerment into some of my future designs.
I have a few disabilities i have a spine injury and PTSD and i love designing new items everyday for everyone no matter what color they are no matter what race or what their sexual oration they see themselves, I design items for everyone and everyone needs to stand up for the one’s who can stand up on their own we all need to stand together and help and love each other before it get too late to stop discrimination against people with disabilities no matter their race, color, sex.
Adhd creator here. I draw all the time on my phone now. But I have no easy way to make products. Zazzle works great on a pc but so much on a phone. Also I have always struggled with sales on this site. I make an occasional sale but I feel the site drives none of it’s traffic to my art. Idk… im def an artist not a salesperson.
Hello, my name is Christina Cohen, I have Multiple Sclerosis, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and a slow growing brain tumor that is benign. I appreciate your site very much, thank you for trying to help people like me and so many others out there. Truly appreciate it and plan to have more soon, I have tried many times before and over many years on your site since my diagnosis in 2010 and have not had much luck. Maybe that will change. Thank you for your time and consideration very much. Have a good day.
Praise be to Allah, I am not a person with a disability, but I fully support them and extend a helping hand whenever I can. If you have any suggestions for me as a designer on how I can better assist people with disabilities, please let me know right away and I will do my best to help. Thank you for your support of people with disabilities.
