the sensory reduction hoodie is built for anyone navigating the world with limited mobility, motor skill challenges, or sensory sensitivities. I wanted to move past basic "utility" and create something that feels effortless to wear?

The Sensory Reduction Hoodie started with a simple, human question: how can we design for ease without sacrificing style? Instead of designing from a distance, I weeks in one on one workshops and interviews with people across a diverse spectrum of physical and mental disabilities. We talked through the small, everyday frustrations that most designers overlook like the "tactile distress" of a scratchy internal seam or the genuine struggle of a traditional zipper.
Those conversations became the heartbeat of the Compos Mentis line. I took those firsthand insights and translated them into using technical solutions like "easy open" Mag tape and iron on seams for a completely smooth interior. The goal was to prove that inclusive design can and should look sylish. It was a proud moment to have that vision recognized by the experts at Cotton Inc., who awarded the project the prize for Line Conceptualization.
