Symptom: Social Security Disability Rejection

61% of Social Security applicants are denied after their first application. I am now on the second appeal, when 49% of remaining applicants are approved, and have hired a lawyer (disability lawyers are only paid if they win your case).

I set a new goal on ko-fi, in order to get more illmarks pieces into the world. The fundraising would cover framing two Med Art Advocacy pieces, and submission fees + professional scanning for the Mütter Medical Museum, a Senior Living Center, a Health Care Center & 3 other shows.

If you are able to comfortably, please buy me a ko-fi. We’re 1/3 of the way to the goal!

Hi #PortfolioDay !

I'm a health&care advocacy designer and artist.

My current project is
@illmarks . I began utilizing body mapping art to log my symptoms, but then expanded the practice to include emotional, systemic, and interpersonal aspects of disability.

I most recently partnered with the University of Washington’s School of Nursing as part of a study on healthcare equity and community tools. I taught a virtual workshop to fellow disabled community members on using symptom mapping art to validate their bodily experiences, which was immensely rewarding.

I hope to expand how I can apply my creativity and help my communities, and would love to collaborate!

(The thing I most miss about my work from before I got more disabled and can no longer work full time is interpersonal collaboration, so I'm slowly trying to bring more collaborations back into my life.)
