Creative Inclusion

A human-centered approach to creativity, belonging, and expression.

My approach is from the pillars that form the world of Dose of Darchelle, showing how we envision spaces, people, and things beautifully with intention.

Visual Storytelling

Visual Storytelling is how ideas, identities, and experiences are made visible.

Through art, imagery, and design, I use visual storytelling to communicate what words alone often can’t, emotion, nuance, and lived experience. This pillar honors the power of seeing ourselves reflected and understood, whether through paintings, campaigns, products, or everyday creative expression.

Visual storytelling is where feeling meets form.

Healing & Identity

Healing & Identity centers creativity as a tool for self-understanding and care.

This pillar explores how identity, embodiment, and lived experience shape the way we move through the world, and how creative practices can help us process, affirm, and reconnect with ourselves. It’s about making space for complexity, growth, and gentleness.

Healing here is not about fixing or choosing one over another, it’s about honoring.

Products with a Purpose

Products with Purpose are tangible extensions of this work.

From apparel to prints to everyday items, these products are designed with intention, carrying meaning, affirmation, and story into daily life. They are creative touch points that allow inclusion, identity, and storytelling to live beyond conversation and into lived experience.

This pillar brings values into form.

Creative Inclusion is about designing with care built in, so people don’t have to choose between comfort, identity, and belonging.
