TeenEase, my first tech product, was born out of a need during the isolating times of COVID-19 in 2020. Motivated by the devastating loss of a close friend to suicide, I felt compelled to take action. Leveraging the virtual nature of technology, I developed the TeenEase mobile app.
The app offers clinically proven relaxation techniques for teens, including breathing graphics, a 'safe space,' and access to mental health resources. To ensure credibility, I conducted market research, consulted clinical psychologists nationwide, and received their approval.
Then, I designed all of the app screens in Figma, animated with Lottie, taught myself how to code in Swift, and spoke at school events and podcasts about it. TeenEase remains available for free on the iOS App Store and continues to positively impact adolescent mental health.
How might we...
Ease the lives of stressed teens?
