Campaign idea: Steph found focus in embroidery
Illness stopped Steph finishing school, but embroidery gave her focus and a new creative path.
This story
Steph fell ill at 16 and was unable to complete her A Levels, moving to college to study graphic design and illustration instead. Over the last decade she turned to embroidery as a therapeutic way to focus her mind, going on to win an art award. She is also developing an illustrated guide to electroconvulsive therapy with hospital staff to help patients and reduce stigma.
What your brand could do
Print Steph's illustrated guide so hospital patients can access it. Supply all the materials she needs for her embroidery.
