Rossie is dyslexic and spent most of his school years being at the bottom of his classes being seen as stupid by many of his peers. He has since become the creator and founder of Dekko Comics Ltd., a company that turns schoolwork and information into entertaining comic stories. This is based on a technique he came up with for himself towards the end of his school career, which in turn gave him his first grade A in an academic exam.
Rossie has won awards like Young Edge and the SME Business Awards and been nominated for several more such as the National Diversity Award and Dyslexia Awareness Award. He has also been featured on BBC News, STV and having done 3 TEDX Talks — all of which to spread the word of his dream to make education accessible and fun for all and lose the stigma of “stupidity” that often surrounds those who have neurodiversity.
