Nehir creates digital mental health illustrations that establish safe, accessible spaces for conversations around healing and well-being while connecting people to resources, education, and awareness. She uses illustration as an advocacy tool, addressing mental health through themes of comfort, safety, and belonging. Grounded in approachability, the work aims to normalize vulnerability and support individuals in recognizing and processing their feelings and experiences.
As an emerging social worker, she positions her illustrations as a practical tool for increasing access to care, translating complex or stigmatized topics into visual language that is direct, inclusive, safe, approachable, and easy to engage. Through her platform @itsoktofeelthatway, these resources circulate beyond traditional art spaces, appearing on everyday objects such as notebooks and water bottles, and digital environments, integrating support into daily life and making information more visible and accessible for diverse audiences.
