FEATURED STORY

IVETA PUDILOVA

Happy Autistic Lady

In 2022 I joined Vera, my sister, leveraging my background in social media marketing and digital accessibility to level up our passion project into a thriving social enterprise: Happy Autistic Lady. ✨

Though quite quickly it evolved into something much deeper—a journey of self-discovery. I began to understand and embrace my own neurodivergent identity. Now, as co-founder and CEO, we provide businesses and educational institutions with empowering campaigns, consultancy, training, and unique branded merch to improve retention, brand reputation, and satisfaction. We can help you meet ethical and legal compliance whilst boosting team productivity and engagement.
