Jen Parr is a late-diagnosed autistic adult with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and chronic illness. For most of her life, she navigated systems — creative, professional, educational — that were never designed with her brain in mind. She found ways to manage. But managing isn't the same as belonging.

​

Creativity was the exception. The one place where her particular way of thinking wasn't a liability. Where the intensity, the tangential leaps, the deep pattern-recognition — all of it became useful. More than useful. Essential.

​

In 2016, after years of watching people quietly opt out of creativity — convinced they weren't talented enough, disciplined enough, the right kind of person — she started building what she wished had existed. A platform where the barrier to entry wasn't talent or output or a good day. Just curiosity.

​

DIYvinci is that platform. Built around the belief that creativity is a wellbeing tool first — and that the people most creatives spaces ignore are often the ones who need it most.
