The Xbox Adaptive Thumbstick Toppers is a free service that allows gamers with disabilities to create, download and 3D print customisable toppers tailor-made to their needs and play styles. The service, available on Xbox Design Lab, continues the Xbox Accessibility journey, empowering gamers to unlock their potential and removing barriers to play.

This service began as an internal Microsoft hackathon project in 2021. After three years, two patents, a few prizes and several executive reviews, it was announced at the 2024 Gamescom. I had the privilege of serving as the lead designer from its inception through to its handover to the Xbox Design Lab team for final implementation and rollout.
