Alopecia is an autoimmune disease.
It robs you of your hair and can cause heavy grief.
It helped me develop deep empathy.
I explored the depths of my understanding, asking what does means to be me? What do I value? How do my actions align with the vision of a life well-lived with alopecia?
What does it mean to be me?
Values
Actions
Aesthetics
The alignment of all three.
To understand, I had to observe, empathize, and design solutions for my growth, health, and wealth.
I always worried about the possibility of tomorrow being a negative experience.
I was lucky enough to be around people and in places that provided me peace. I was still struggling internally.
I sought out therapy.
I needed clarity.
As a designer, I craft the perfect alignment of items to encourage positive interactions.
I crafted a brand that helps you do the same.
Cheltenham is its name.
And now I get to share my story with all of you.
