Design Lab was hired to design six bandage collections for startup brand, World of Hurt. “By Gen-Z, for Gen-Z”, these bandage designs combine first-aid, fashion, and unapologetic self-expression.


Throughout the project, World of Hurt founders reminded our designers - you are the experts! Playing the part of designer and target audience, each designer was encouraged to pitch a lineup of bandages that spoke to them personally. They drew inspiration from graffiti, brainrot, nature, fashion, surf/skate culture, and more. The result of this epic collaboration is already adorning the scrapes and cuts of teens nationwide! World of Hurt bandages are available online at https://theworldofhurt.com/.
