© 2026 cripple, Emily Sara

Cripple was founded in twenty twenty by Emily Sara www.emily-sara.com. Cripple is a publishing initiative and is an extention of her very hybridized practice. Emily is a queer, neurodivergent, disabled, artist, designer, writer and alt educator.

Code support for this website has been provided by Mariah Barden Jones who is available for design work and can be found at seahorsegirl.world

Original logo design of cripple was created by Mia Navarro, established in twenty twenty. Mia is also available for design work and can be found at mianavarro.com
Image description, alt text embedded: The cripple logo. It is of a neon green rectangle with a thick, bold letter C in the middle. The letter is very wobbly and has breaks in it's stroke, like two mouths coming ouf of it's ends. It is reminiscent of the original cripple logo by disabled designer, Mia Navarro in that it feels a bit eerie and unsettling. The word cripple is adjacent to the bottom right of the letter c.
Image description, alt text embedded: The first iteration of the cripple logo of 2020. It is of a neon green rectangle with black, thin and wonky lettering that spells out the word cripple. It was designed by Mia Navarro and feels a bit eerie and unsettling. The letters were created using steel wire, photography, and digital drawing.
