Margaux Wosk (Retrophiliac) is an Autistic, self-taught designer, writer, entrepreneur, disability advocate, and activist based in Vancouver, BC (Unceded Coast Salish Territory). Creativity has always been a part of who she is. Coming from an eccentric family of artists, she credits them for helping her develop her unique vision and sense of expression.

Through her brand Retrophiliac, Margaux designs disability-related and neurodiversity pride merchandise that helps people communicate their identities and access needs. Her work focuses on breaking down barriers, reducing stigma, and opening up conversations about what Autistic and disabled people are capable of. Her neurodiversity and Autistic pride collections have reached people around the world, inspiring others and paving the way for more self-employed disabled creators.

She has received multiple BC Arts Council grants, her previous visual work was featured on the cover of York University’s Mental Health Literacy Guide for Autism, and she has been highlighted in numerous media outlets and exhibitions. Her merchandise is available on retrophiliac.etsy.com and shopretrophiliac.com, as well as in more than 20 retail stores.

Margaux currently serves as the Lower Mainland West Director of BC People First and is the founder of the Facebook communities Made by Autistics Community and Made by Autistics Marketplace.

Although she previously created visual art inspired by retro aesthetics and pop culture, her focus has since evolved toward design, advocacy, and accessibility. Her brand, Retrophiliac, continues to embody her passion for inclusion, self-expression, and vibrant design.
