- Create calm environments for making  

- Offer supportive coaching for Neurodivergent and sensitive creatives  

- Build gentle, low‑pressure communities 

FIX it stands for:

Function - modern fashion is often fast, for profit and disposable. This is not always aligned to our sensory needs or authenticity. Keep costs down and be kinder to the environment, we can alter and recycle what we currently have to make it is more sensory calm. Methods include removing irritating labels, flattening seams, fixing up what we have so that it provides us with a functional garment, perfectly aligned to you.

Innovation - think convertible clothing, serving many purposes, not just one. When our time, space and money are short, making our clothes work for us, gives us freedom. We can 'carry on' on our next flight destination, reduce wardrobe space, design a purposeful and intentional capsule wardrobe and save money by breathing new life into what we already have.

X - has long been associated with the unknown because of its use in algebra and its visual simplicity. The unknown can be triggering and disruptive to your sensory calm. Instead, step into the known, a familiar garment, adapted for you, one that you are empowered to create. X also represents a kiss and we invite you to fall in love again with your clothes, by giving them the opportunity to love you back - comfortable and calm.
