Trace the impact of design.
An evidence-based framework connecting research with practical design, grounded in real-world technology examples.
Technology already shapes daily habits and routines. What would it look like to design for lasting positive impact: helping people build relationships, pursue goals, and develop meaning?
This framework translates decades of research into actionable guidance. It identifies positive activities that support sustained wellbeing, the mechanisms that make them effective, and concrete design patterns to implement them.

A research-to-practice framework
This multi-year research program translated behavioral science and positive psychology into practical design guidance. It demonstrates how academic research can become actionable tools for product teams, moving from theory to framework to design patterns to real-world application.
The work has been applied in industry consulting, academic teaching, and the design of AI-powered products.
