Meet the
disabled-led team
building inclusive brands worldwide.
Born from frustration with inaccessible corporate culture, Inkfire reimagines what an agency looks like when disabled people lead from the centre — not the sidelines.
The benefits of working at Inkfire
A different kind of agency culture. Built around access, creativity, and people doing their best work when they are properly supported.
Built Around People, Not Pressure
Work is designed around real humans. Health, access needs, capacity, and communication all shape how we work together.
Remote-First Flexibility
Home, hybrid, or wherever you focus best. What matters is the work and the support behind it, not the postcode.
Disabled-Led Culture
Accessibility is built into everything we do. Our lived experience shapes the way we design systems, teams, and client work.
Purposeful Client Work
We partner with organisations that want to do things properly. Strategy, accessibility, design, and technology work together.
Creative Freedom
Ideas are encouraged, not buried. Team members shape projects and contribute their perspective.
The Right Tools
Thoughtful systems and good technology remove friction so the team can focus on doing great work.
Sustainable Growth
Progress without burnout. We prioritise long-term wellbeing and skill development.
Work With Meaning
Every project helps make digital spaces more inclusive and accessible.
Remote-First Opportunities
We are a remote-first team and do not currently offer in-person roles. Every opportunity below is designed to work remotely.
