⭐️TRIGGER WARNING (loss and depression)⭐️
Although Dose of Dopamine Design is known for its vibrancy and colour it was actually created from a very dark pool of grief and depression, before falling pregnant with our baby Frank me and my husband lost our first baby which we named Puddin through miscarriage, the grief I felt was a grief I never knew existed. I carried a lot of guilt and confusion around with me for a long time after losing Puddin and all of those emotions then came along on the journey with me when I fell pregnant with Baby Frank and also into the post natal season after giving birth to him. 

Anxiety, depression and fear pretty much swallowed me whole for almost a year, the list of emotions and thought of the time are endless. BUT this is when I found my saviour.... crafting! When ever I sat down to craft I felt an instant calm to the storm that my mind had become, it made me forget how I was feeling, I quickly fell in love with it!
I started by making clothes for baby Frank out of the maternity clothes I wore when I was pregnant with him, this is when I really caught the bug, seeing things that could and would have ended in landfill transform in to “brand new” outfits! I shared my makes with friends and family and from there the beautiful healer that craft is has grown and transformed into this amazing little business and I fall in love with it in new ways each day.

I think it’s important to know the stories behind the makers that we buy from and to know what and who you are investing into. You’ll notice Very quickly that I use whatever small voice I have on this planet to scream and shout about things that mean a lot to me and the root of all that is honesty, mental health, taboo topics and my life and struggle with Endometriosis.
Thank you so much to all my Dopies that are already on this journey with me and hi and thank you to any future Dopies who will be joining in.
