the a.p. life

I'm Ellie, the sole owner of The AP Life, & I design neuro-affirming apparel for the Autism, neurodivergent & disability communities. As a professionally trained graphic designer & lifelong creative, I never use AI in the creation of my artwork as I believe art should always be human-made.

retro vibes with purpose

As an elder Millennial who grew up in the 80s, I enjoy blending retro design with neuro-affirming, nostalgic and humorous references that educate the community about Autism acceptance, ADHD & other disabilities. These communities deserve representation in all forms.

Be sure to check out my Repurposed Rebels clothing line as I take secondhand clothing and repurpose it into advocacy wear while donating profits to various organizations that empower the Autism & Disability communities.

Here are some other ways I have supported the community.

Thanks for being here!
