This is Elle Munda, the visionary artist and proud Filipino American behind the captivating brand, "Damaged Bears." Elle's personal journey with invisible illnesses began at a young age when she experienced her first panic attack at just 10 years old. Determined to shed light on the struggles faced by individuals with hidden conditions, Elle conceptualized Damaged Bears in 7th grade—an idea that has grown into something deeply meaningful to her.
For Elle, Damaged Bears is more than just a brand; it is a platform to create understanding and empathy. With each design, Elle aims to capture the unspoken emotions and challenges faced by those living with invisible illnesses. By sharing these powerful designs, she hopes to instill a sense of connection and reassurance for others who may be going through similar experiences.
Damaged Bears is a beacon of awareness, spreading the message that no one should face these battles alone. Elle and her team strive to create a more compassionate world, where individuals are seen, heard, and supported. Through their art and advocacy, they are breaking down stigmas and fostering a greater understanding of invisible illnesses.
Join Elle and the Damaged Bears community as they make a difference, one design at a time. Together, let's create a world that embraces empathy, compassion, and solidarity, because at the end of the day, We’re all a little damaged.
