Statement

I’ve created this project, Human Nature, to help remove the stigma around menstruation once and for all and remind people that periods are a natural occurrence that should not be looked down upon in any way. As a woman, I grew up being told that any talk about “that time of the month” was inappropriate to discuss openly. Even as the talk around periods begins to increase and companies begin to tackle the issue through their branding, we as a society still remain only partially successful in the fight. I simply strived to create a brand that empowers individuals and validates their lived experiences.
