The Story
The story behind everything
My grandparents built a village when they left China. My parents were raised inside it. I grew up at its edges — watching it fade, one rational decision at a time.
I survived a traumatic brain injury that should have ended things. It didn't. It changed everything instead — the way I understood the nervous system, what humans need from each other, and what was quietly missing from modern life.
I built MindNation because workplaces were breaking people in silence. I built HeyBlu because the person you love most shouldn't have to receive everything. I built HERmones because nobody told women their own bodies were legible. I built Snowballs because children need language for their feelings before the feelings become something worse.
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The break is not hidden. The repair is the point. What was broken becomes more itself — because of what it survived, not despite it. That is the philosophy behind everything I build.
