"The mission of Discarded Dopamine is to use my artistic talents to bring joy and inspiration to the lives of others. I create goods that are colorful, poetic, and celebratory of health, strength, and love. I maintain eco-friendly practices whenever possible and employ humor and levity to combat the darkness of reality."
