Elin

Welcome to My Blurred World

I’m Elin, a 20-something Welsh girl who you’ll most likely find at a concert, writing, reading, styling my next outfit, or dreaming up new ways to say, ‘This could be more accessible.’.

I created My Blurred World in April 2015 in the hope of breaking down disabling barriers, and ultimately building the very platform that I could have benefited from stumbling upon when I was younger.

You’ll find a little bit of everything here; from the occasional fashion feature and concert experience, to introspective diary entries and personal musings, all of which are punctuated with my trademark ramblings on all things accessibility and representation.

An eternal optimist, I write positive, yet honest, features on living as a vision impaired person in the hope that my words can help others in a similar situation.

So, if you’re a fellow disabled person who’s searching for reassurance; a non-disabled person who’s looking to learn a little something; or simply a fellow writer, bookworm or concert-goer who’s navigating their twenties – this space is for you.

I’ve had to learn and practice a myriad of things in my life as a disabled person; confidence, independence, braille, how to tolerate the robotic voice of my screen-reader… The list could go on. I often had someone by my side to g[...]

Exploring Sicily: Our Accessible Girls’ Getaway

May 31, 2026

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love to explore new places. There are certain aspects of my travels that stay with me as a vision impaired person, from the sound of cowbells on Austria’s mountains, to[...]

Elin and Holly standing in Catania's main square in front of an ornate cathedral. It features columns, statues and large domes. They have their arms around each other and are smiling at the camera. Holly wears a mauve sleeveless top with a long colourful skirt, black trainers and a black crossbody bag. Elin wears a coord set which features a pleated top and maxi skirt with a green vine design. She's paired it with a white handbag and white trainers.

Presence vs Participation

April 5, 2026

Elin standing on an outdoor terrace by a canal. Her right hand rests on a black railing with two silver rings adorning her fingers. She’s looking away from the camera to her right with a bright smile on her face. She wears a brown high neck jumper with high waisted grey and brown check shorts and a brown shoulder bag which hangs in the crook of her left elbow. Her shoulder length brown hair is worn straight and she has black glasses. The water reflects the trees that line one side.

She wears a gingham green and white crop top with thin straps, white high waisted wide leg trousers with a subtle pleated detail and white quilted ballet flats. Her right thumb is hooked into her pocket and she's smiling broadly at the camera.

Fashioning an identity: On style, vision impairment and belonging

February 8, 2026

A black felt letter board with a retro white wooden frame and white letters reads: Inclusion isn't a luxury. The board is set on a textured white blanket and is surrounded by a fake plant, fake white peonies, two candles, a couple of nail polishes, a small perfume bottle and a phone which displays the My Blurred World blog homepage.

Habits I’m unlearning as a disabled person

November 23, 2025

Elin standing on a wooden dock by a marina which is filled with boats and yachts. She's wearing a white mini dress with lace inserts at the waist and embroidered details all over. It has a v-neckline and spaghetti straps. Her brown hair is styled into a half-up, half-down do and her right hand is raised to push a strand away from her face. She's looking down reflectively. In the background is a rocky hill with Alicante's Santa Barbara castle slightly visible at the top.

Vulnerability as a vision impaired person in a visual world

November 9, 2025

Let's work together!

Over the years, I’ve teamed up with brilliant brands, organisations, and publications — including L’Occitane, Microsoft, Theatr Cymru, The Guardian, BBC, S4C, and ITV Wales.

Whether it’s creating meaningful campaigns, sharing stories that stick, or amplifying voices that are all too often left out of the conversation, I’m here to chat all things accessibility, disability, and representation.

And if a project happens to involve fashion, live music, or an inclusion win in football — even better.

Please do reach out if you’d like to explore how we could work together.
