My Story

During my time at university studying Illustration, I encountered issues with my mental health. Specifically with social anxiety and depression, although awareness at the time was limited and I struggled not knowing what was going on for a long time. With my studies and art I explored mental illness as I wanted to understand it the best that I could. I made it my mission to help others, but suffering with social anxiety I wasn't sure how I would be able to. I decided that I could use my knowledge and passion for art to help raise awareness and add to the conversation of our mental health. This is where Grounded Attire began. The aim is for my designs to be worn in a show of solidarity with fellow sufferers. As a way to show that we aren't alone in this, which it can so often feel like.
