Don’t Die, Cry Less
This series is a celebration of what it means to be chronically ill, to move through every day at a different pace, and to listen to your body even when you want to do so much more.
It’s easy to feel alone in our biggest, darkest struggles - especially when others can’t see them. This series, which started as my own personal New Year’s Resolutions during a particularly bad year health-wise, grew to be a reminder that even in those moments we aren’t alone at all.

The Message
If your only resolution is survival, you’re still doing great.
The Merchandise
I knew from the beginning that this designed belonged on a shirt, but in the meantime I also did a set of stickers in each colorway.
In The Details
It took me months to find a ringer tee that matched what I envisioned for this design; these tees are made from 50/50 cotton and recycled polyester, and were printed by hand in my little studio.
