Behind the Design: Names They Gave Me
Share
One word. Set large. Nothing else.
Overthink. Unloved. Unheard.
These are not insults and not diagnoses. They are the names other people hand you, or the ones you give yourself at 3 AM. The words that sit in your chest and never quite make it out loud.
Names They Gave Me is built on one idea: wearing a word is a way of owning it. Not fixing it. Not performing it. Taking it back.
The design
One word, heavy sans-serif, centred, high contrast. No illustration and no decoration. The word is the design. Printed on heavyweight cotton that sits flat and holds its shape.
Why these words
Overthink came first. People who overthink don't need to be told to stop. They need something that says: you're not the only one.
Unloved is not self-pity. It is the specific feeling of standing in a full room and going unseen.
Unheard is for everyone who said it once and stopped repeating it.
These aren't sad words. They're honest ones.
The thoughts don't stop. Neither do you.
