A little online shop to help control the crazy
This shop exists somewhere between therapy, pop culture, and absolute emotional chaos.
ProjectionandCo was born during a season of anxiety, burnout, ADHD hyperfixations, and an urgent need to channel feelings into something tangible. Instead of screaming into the void, I started designing things that felt like inside jokes for people who are self-aware enough to laugh at their own mess.
Everything here is for people who cope with humor, overanalyze Bravo scenes like it’s homework, and need their accessories to do emotional support work.
I am the typical ADHD-er when it comes to hobbies and interests. Meaning I jump from hobby to hobby as frequently as others decide what to wear for work that day. Recently I started making my own bracelets, starting with beads and moving onto charm bracelets. I am a therapist/counselor, and try to practice what I preach, in that I try to focus my energy and time on things that bring me joy and make me feel positive emotions like happy, productive, creative. This has lead me to creating more bracelets and purse chains than I know what to do with. Literally, I have over 10 lbs. of beaded bracelets I have made, and no idea what to do with them. So, I thought maybe someone else would like them and then they would at least find a good home.
After I opened the shop I learned how to make t-shirts and other items with my designs on them. Now, I think I am hilarious, and so therefor I should make t-shirts that other hilarious people want to buy. And this was a creative outlet I had never even thought of that has been such a blessing and helped me so much with anxiety and struggles with motivation.
And that is how this store become to be. It is just me behind it, fueled with ADHD, stress, anxiety and a creative mind needing a healthy escape.
So, to whomever reads this, thank you for stopping by. Even a look at the things in my shop gives me a smile and helps me keep creating and posting.
