Irish writer, academic, influencer, activist and broadcaster, popular for her TED talk Why design should include everyone. She appeared on the cover for The Business of Fashion in May 2018 alongside Kim Kardashian with an interview as part of The Age of Influence series. As a 16 year old, Burke often felt excluded from fashion conversations and experiences due to her limited choices available to her as someone with achondroplasia (a genetic disorder that results in dwarfism), so she starting blogging to highlight the exclusive nature of the fashion industry.  Burke actively campaigns to highlight the importance of inclusive design in all areas of life due to the practical challenges she faces in living and moving in a world that was not designed for people with disabilities.
