Entry Description

I have ADHD, and fidgeting is incredibly important to me. Fidgeting for me can both help me stay calm when overstimulated and can keep me entertained when bored.

Based my own survey of neurodivergent people, many play with their clothes, and find this incredibly soothing. Neurodivergent or not, people will benefit from clothing that is designed to allow for fiddling.

I developed textile fidget elements and 3D printed fidget notions to make this collection into an incredible tactile sensory experience, in a fun, powerful, utility collection, for a woman with an active lifestyle.

Thank you!
