As an artist living with Bipolar II disorder, I utilized my creative outlets as a way to cope with my condition. Soon after I started Neko Charm as a way to raise funds for the mental health organizations that helped me during the first part of my mental health healing process. We donate to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA)

I hope to continue creating not only as a way to help me cope, but also to provide pieces that resonate with those who are also struggling and raise mental health awareness. By wearing these pieces we can hopefully start open conversations about mental illness to help fight mental health stigma.
