About us

Our Story

Back in 2019 Jess was diagnosed with autism, and it was around the same time that she dusted off an old DSLR camera and decided to have a go at photography as a hobby.

Now after over 5 years of being a professional photographer, collaborating with lots of amazing people and growing so much confidence along the way, she founded Neurodivergent Lens with the vision of working with accessibility, inclusivity and mutual understanding at the forefront, as well as creating a community of support for other freelancers and creatives who resonate with the neurodivergent experience.

Credentials

Jess has multiple training certificates including Safeguarding, Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and Trauma Informed Practice, and is also due to complete the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism.
