Our Story
Welcome to Dead Inside Designs Co. – where sarcasm is stitched into every seam, trauma meets tasteful design, and employees aren’t the only ones trying not to scream into the void before 9AM.
We’re a proudly LGBTQIA+ owned and operated brand born from the flaming dumpster fire that is modern life. Between political chaos, daily work stress, and watching our coffee grow colder than our hopes for a functioning society, we decided something needed to change. Not the system—because LOL—but us. So, we started making shirts that made us laugh. Then our friends laughed. Then strangers laughed. And now you’re here. Hi.
Dead Inside Designs Co. is more than just meme-worthy merch for the burnt-out and still-kind-of-hopeful. We believe in inclusion, self-expression, and calling out the absurdity of the world while still showing up with style. Whether you’re a civil servant, a nerd, a rainbow rebel, or just someone who needs a wearable hug that says, “Same,” you’ve found your people.
Oh—and because having a soul is kind of our brand too, 15% of our annual profits will be donated to charities that support inclusion, women, puppies, and feeding people who need it. (Because hungry people and sad puppies are not the vibe.)
So go ahead—stitch sarcasm into your wardrobe, wear your wit like armor, and machine-wash your expectations. We’re Dead Inside… but at least we’re doing it with taste.
