The sisters’ success shows how creativity plus clear purpose can move audiences, spark self belief, and inspire action at larger events and smaller sessions alike.
Izzy Wheels began in 2016 as a college project. It was Ailbhe’s final-year work while studying art in Dublin. Inspired by her sister Izzy, who was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, Ailbhe designed colourful wheel covers to match her sister’s exuberant style and bubbly personality.
A short film of the designs went viral online, reaching around 16–17 million views in one week. Overnight, the passion project became an international business, and yes, the business exploded.
Today, Izzy Wheels sells to over 60 countries and continues to grow as a design-led international business with real-world impact. The brand has collaborated with more than 100 designers and major brands including Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, Hello Kitty and Barbie. In 2019, they helped create an inclusive wheelchair Barbie doll concept and matching wheel covers, a personal project that helped open up better representation for kids.
Their story has featured in the world’s biggest publications and outlets including British Vogue, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Magazine, TechCrunch, Good Morning America and CBS News, including recognition on the prestigious Forbes lists.
