Living With: T-Shirts That Are More Than Just Pretty Patterns

At first glance, these t-shirts look like they have really cool patterns on them, but in fact, they are designed as a way to help remove the stigma that often comes with mental illness. Dani Balenson began Living With: as a college thesis but it quickly grew into a much larger social endeavor that brings about mental health conversations and compassion through design.

Each screen-printed shirt is printed with a design that’s based on behavioral patterns of mental disorders. Wear one to show your support and know that Living With: donates $2 of every shirt to Active Minds, an organization that works towards removing the stigma of mental illness on college campuses.
