Get a peek inside the design process of this t-shirt designed for a real mule girl!

I got asked to make a design that would be just right for a mule owner because the designs available on the market mostly don’t accurately represent mules.

Read more about the brief I got and what considerations specific to mules I made during the design – as well as how I gave it a nod to that Wild West feel while still keeping it modern.

I’ve gathered my initial sketches and step-by-step pictures of how the design progressed and explain the twists and turns this design took before ending up as the final design that I approved for sale.

Hello, Sunshine 🌻

Are you as fed up with the spiritual “love and light” scene as I am? You know, the one that calls for constant positivity even in the face of real trauma and true loss.

Do you feel like there simply has to be something beyond those clichéd positive quotes that, in fact, invalidate your anger, sadness and pain rather than fix it?

If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Because I don’t think it helps to ignore our feelings and tell ourselves that we’re perfect and whole when we feel broken. When real damage has been done.

And being an empath means that you feel deeply, all the time. That’s not an easy life.

It was only after I learned how to balance my empathic sensitivities that I was able to embrace both the good and bad of being an empath, and turn all that energy towards creating the life I really want. And be the person I really want to be.

And I’m here to show you those same practical exercises I use, that will help you navigate your intuition, create those much-needed boundaries and build confidence in the capable person you are.

The process of acknowledging and repairing your fragmented self isn’t always easy or pretty. But it can make you even more beautiful than before, because the wound is where the light enters you, if you just let it in.

xo, Eva
