The vision
Stay independent. Keep living your life.
I co-founded Road265 to turn scattered wellness data into personalized self-care coaching, with independence in later life as the goal.
Find the need
Make the future feel worth preparing for.
Through conversations, concept tests, and prototypes, we explored how people think about independence—and what would help them take action earlier.
“I want to stay independent as long as possible, but it feels like you only think about that once you’re already in trouble.”
Choose the product’s role
Connect the tools people already use.
We focused on a coaching layer across existing apps and devices. Cardio, strength, cognition, and emotional health belonged in one conversation.
Make progress understandable
Turn data into a reason to act.
I explored L-Score, inAge, and the Decline Curve as product concepts for explaining progress and the effect of wellness planning.

The prototype connects wellness goals to the app’s aging-trajectory concept.
Learn through prototypes
The holistic approach mattered.
I moved from journeys and wireframes to one-to-one prototype sessions, refining tone, navigation, and the dashboard.
- Research interviews
- 21
- Session length
- 60–80 min
“I love that it’s not just about exercise. I’m so afraid of dementia and losing my cognitive functions and the holistic approach makes me plan better for other aspects.”

Give the product a voice
Modern, friendly, and strong.
I created the identity, interface system, and motion language. Onboarding and small waiting moments carried the same optimistic tone.
The north star
A companion that feels more personal.
This demo expressed the longer-term vision. The immediate work was building the foundation, preparing the prototype for production, and learning through closed beta.
