As inclusive design lead at Wunderman Thompson, Christina Mallon is responsible for guiding brands to reach and be relevant to market consumers who require products and services to be inclusive and accessible. At the start of her career, Christina's arms slowly became paralyzed, and she was diagnosed with a rare form of ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or flail arm syndrome. The transition to “disabled” was challenging, but she managed to creatively adapt to her condition, working full-time and living independently in New York City. As a young digital marketing professional starting her career with a physical “disability,” Christina felt under-represented as a consumer. She was determined to find solutions that would allow her to be fully active and relevant in the world. Recognizing the opportunity to grow awareness and make a measurable impact within the industry, she took on her role at Wunderman Thompson. She is also an active board member at Open Style Lab, a non-profit organization created at MIT dedicated to creating innovative clothing and product solutions for people with disabilities.Christina’s work around inclusive design has received nation-wide attention and has been featured in Fast Company, Yahoo Style, NBC News, Vogue, BBC, and The New York Times.
