Creating inclusive T-shirts and merchandise stemmed from my personal journey as a mother of my child, Drew born with a complex disability.  He was disagnosed with ATR-x Syndrome at 6 months of age.  He is non-verbal and being physically disabled, he uses a wheelchair to get around. 

 

Experiencing the stares and curious glances when he makes loud sounds and waves his arms and legs around in public often highlighted a blend of curiosity and apprehension from others.  This inspired me to design fun characters of people with disabilities that only celebrates diversity, but also encourages understanding and communication.

​

As an artist, I thrive on creativity and wanted to infuse that passion into something meaningful.  My goal is to spark conversations, helping parents and caregivers navigate their experiences in the community while promoting inclusivity and awareness.
