Ashton McGrady

Co-Founder

Ashton is a queer, disabled creator, educator, and co-founder of Wishing Well Collective. With over six years of experience in the disability space, including her background as a former special educator, she brings both lived and professional expertise to every project she touches.

Since 2019, Ashton has built a vibrant online platform rooted in accessibility, beauty, fashion, and education.

Her content sparks vital conversations and has opened doors for partnerships with brands like Tilt Beauty, Anthropologie, TORRID, Skinfix, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), where she is always pushing for more inclusive practices and authentic representation.

She’s especially passionate about making accessibility feel less clinical and more connected. Through Wishing Well Collective, Ashton helps brands bridge the gap between intention and impact, blending strategy with storytelling to reimagine what access can look like.
