Founder / Designer
Vida (iOS)
2011-2014
I designed the productivity app Vida in 2013 from a-z. The app had a unique approach to goal setting and to-do lists.
Vida was a completely unique ‘gamified’ productivity app. Users earned points and leveled up while working on their personal development. The app provided a clear overview of a person's life and achievements.

Review score: 4.7/5
What touched me the most was the people sending me e-mails about how much it improved their lives.
I decided to sell the app to another company after it had reached thousands of active users.

Enabling thousands of like-minded people to get quality educational tools for the benefit of mental health with psychedelic medicine.
After years of volunteering within the psychedelic research & mental health space, I worked together with harm-reduction experts, researchers, and artists.
Hundreds of people online gave their input for a truly co-created toolbox that gives homages to pioneering psychedelic medicine, helping thousands of people who struggle with treatment-resistant depression, clusterheadaches, or PTSD.
