After a decade working at the intersection of research, technology, and mental health, I became aware of three challenges that shape how we care for our minds:

• First: Mental illness is one of the most pressing issues of our time.
  Widespread, deeply damaging, and with ripple effects on families, workplaces, and society. It deserves the same proactive, serious attention we give to physical health.

• Second: Too many solutions go unused.
  Barriers like stigma, lack of awareness, or inaccessible formats mean help is often out of reach. We need lighter, warmer, and more engaging ways to meet people where they are and gently guide them forward.

• Third: Every experience is unique and dynamic.
  Symptoms shift not just across people but across moments in each person’s life. The opportunity lies in recognizing these personal contexts and helping people discover what truly works for them.

“The real problem isn’t just the lack of solutions — it’s helping people connect with the right ones in ways that feel personal, human, and supportive.”

These insights inspired me to create Find Your Orbit, a framework and platform to help people:

• Understand the “gravity” of what pulls at them.
• Measure the health of their current orbit.
• Gently adjust course toward purpose, joy, and balance.

Using AI and human-centered design, Find Your Orbit is about supporting mental well-being in a way that is approachable, personalized, and sustainable — not a one-size-fits-all fix, but a guide to help each person navigate their unique orbit.
