How We Feel, a collaboration lead by Pinterest co-founder Ben Silbermann and Yale research psychologist Dr. Marc Brackett, is an emotion-tracking app that helps users understand and respond to their feelings using science-backed tools.

Working alongside a design lead, I helped translate complex psychological research tools into intuitive, engaging experiences. The app guides users through their daily emotional journey, helping them identify and label their feelings, take evidence-based actions to manage their emotional state, and cultivate deeper self-awareness through consistent practice.

Since its launch, How We Feel has garnered widespread recognition, earning Apple's 2022 Cultural Impact Award, a 2023 Webby Award Honoree distinction, selection as an App Store 2024 Social Impact Finalist, and 4.9 stars in the app store.
