Context
STMNT Grooming positioned the Artist Edition as more than a collaboration framing it as a platform for conversation around men’s mental health.
The campaign centred on real, unfiltered stories from individuals sharing personal struggles, aiming to challenge stigma and encourage openness. The objective was to translate these narratives into a visual form that could carry emotional weight while existing within a global commercial context.
Creative Role
- Lead Artist for STMNT Artist Edition
- Visual translation of personal mental health stories
- Creation of multiple live artworks based on individual narratives
- Development of a unified visual composition for global rollout
- Artwork application across product, campaign, and merchandise
Execution
A series of live artworks were created in response to individual stories, each piece shaped directly by personal experiences shared around mental health.
Rather than abstract interpretation, the process focused on capturing emotional tone translating themes of pressure, resilience, isolation, and connection into a raw, immediate visual language.
These individual works were then brought together into a single, cohesive composition—forming the foundation of the Artist Edition. The final artwork retained the energy of each original piece, allowing multiple voices to exist within one unified visual system.
The composition was applied across STMNT’s product packaging, supported by a wider campaign rollout and accompanying merchandise, allowing the work to move from personal narrative into a global platform.

Impact
