Retrophiliac

Hey, I’m Margaux! I’m an Autistic, Disabled artist, designer, and small business owner based in Vancouver, BC. I create enamel pins, vinyl stickers, keychains, patches, and more—mainly focused on disability pride, neurodiversity, and self-expression. My shop, Retrophiliac, is a place where people can find designs that reflect their identity, needs, and values. Being neurodivergent has shaped every part of my life, including my work. I’ve always had a strong passion for art, advocacy, and making things that actually mean something. Growing up, I never saw disability and neurodiversity represented in fun, everyday items—so I decided to change that. Now, my designs help people communicate, set boundaries, and celebrate who they are in a world that often overlooks us. I’m also a huge advocate for self-employed disabled people. Too often, disabled entrepreneurs are left out of conversations about employment and support systems. I’ve spoken out about these issues, participated in accessibility studies, and even served as a Director of BC People First, a disability rights non-profit. Working for myself has been the most accessible and fulfilling path for me, and I want to see more disabled people given the same opportunities. Every design I make is thoughtfully created, with a focus on accurate colors, sizing, and accessibility. If you want to check out my work, you can find it at www.shopretrophiliac.com. Word of mouth helps me grow, so if you like what I do, sharing my shop with others makes a huge difference. Your support means everything, and it helps me continue doing what I love while making a difference in the community.
