jamie hale
I'm Jamie Hale, a disabled and neurodivergent creative coach, trainer, and access consultant working to build cultures rooted in access, equity, and disability justice. My work sits at the intersection of lived experience and professional practice. I am the Artistic Director at CRIPtic Arts, leading strategic development, commissioning, talent development, and organisational growth.
I have nearly a decade of experience across training, facilitation, mentoring, strategic development, and access consultancy. I support organisations, leaders, and disabled people to make meaningful structural change, embedding accessibility into everyday practice rather than seeing it as compliance alone. I specialise in disabled-led practice, co-creation, inclusive programme design and sector change.
I'm also an award-winning multidisciplinary creative, and my artistic practice informs everything I do, keeping me attentive to language, power, and nuance.
i believe in
Access is not a tickbox, it's a creative and relational practice shaping all I do
O1. access as practice
O2. sustainability
Burnout is not healthy, we should develop ways of working that honour our limits
O3. structural shifts
Inclusion requires shifting power, redistributing resources, and redesigning systems
O4. care-centred work
Care is political, and building structures that centre it is essential to meaningful equity
