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.

Elin standing on a gravel path that curves through a garden. There is a stone wall behind her with green plants on terraces. She wears a double breasted brown coat over a cream jumper and skirt coord and a brown bag with a croc design hangs on her right arm. Her brown shoulder length hair is styled into loose waves and she’s smiling at the camera.

Presence vs Participation

April 5, 2026

There’s a certain kind of loneliness that claims you when you’re in a room full of people but no one recognises your presence. The feeling veils your skin in a sticky substance that only access and equality can scrub away. [...]

A conversation with my younger self

March 15, 2026

Last year, social media was flooded with people sharing the moment they met their younger selves for coffee. The trend was hard to escape, with many unable to resist the catharsis that came with sitting down for a virtual chat with th[...]

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.

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

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.

Wales at the Euros: A vision impaired fan’s matchday experience

July 21, 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.
