Did You Wear Yours to support OCD Awareness Week!?

OCD Action was so proud to partner with OCD Doodles and FYI Print House for 2025’s OCD Awareness Week — and read here the story behind our new limited tote bag and sticker collection!

Who are the creators we worked with?

This collaboration brings together two brilliant creators, both using their lived experience of OCD to drive change. Laura Johnson, the Leeds-based artist behind OCD Doodles, and Tom Buxey, director and co-founder of the Leeds and Sheffield design agency FYI, have each turned their journeys with OCD into sources of creativity, connection, and advocacy.

The collection — designed by Laura and printed by Tom’s team at FYI — sold exclusively through the OCD Action Shop, with 100% of proceeds going to OCD Action. We’re incredibly grateful to both Laura and Tom for making this happen with their generosity, passion, and commitment to changing the conversation around OCD.

People couldn’t wait to get their hands on these designs — each tote and sticker is bold, thoughtful, and created to start conversations that help others understand what OCD is really like.
