From Art to Empire

The Birth of a Mental Health Movement: In 2021, Sophie Nistico embarked on a transformative journey, turning her personal battles with anxiety and chronic migraines into a pioneering mental health awareness clothing brand. Starting with just a $500 investment in a print sticker-cutting machine, Sophie laid the foundation for See The Way I See, a brand that has since grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise, reshaping the dialogue around mental health.

Sophie’s journey began on Instagram, where she shared her artwork reflecting personal insights into mental health. This platform allowed her to build a significant social media presence, which became instrumental in launching her brand. Initially focused on creating stickers, Sophie made a strategic pivot to apparel, a decision that would prove transformative. The brand’s unique approach involves placing comforting reminders on clothing sleeves, offering wearable affirmations that deeply resonate with their community. This shift not only broadened the brand’s appeal but also established it as a leader in merging fashion with mental health advocacy.
