Notion (n). An impulse or desire, especially one of a whimsical kind

These aren’t solutions (yet)—just some questions we’re sitting with, sketching out, and slowly shaping into ideas that might actually make a difference.

  • Can Urban Design Be a Form of Public Care?

    What if sidewalks soothed anxiety? What if parks supported mental health as much as physical activity? Urban design shapes how we move, connect, and feel—so why not design it with care at the center? This idea explores how cities can be built not just to function, but to heal, nurture, and support the human experience.

  • What If Physical Wellness Was Measured by Digital Wellbeing?

    What if your physical wellness tracker could be integrated with your digital wellbeing—like balancing time spent on your phone with time spent on physical activity? Imagine wearables that didn’t just count steps but also measured the quality of your screen time, providing suggestions for optimal digital health. This cross-industry innovation would reshape how we balance our digital lives with our physical and mental health.

  • What If Skincare Brands Were Mental Health Brands Too?

    What if your moisturizer came with guided breathing exercises, or your cleanser included affirmations based on evidence-based CBT? A true blend of beauty and behavioral science, turning your morning routine into micro-moments of mental hygiene.

  • What If Community Was a Service You Could Subscribe To?

    Imagine a service that didn’t just connect you to your screen—but to your neighbors, your local resources, your support system. A subscription that brought people together, from shared meals to spontaneous walks, and created a safety net woven into your daily life. Because community isn’t just something we hope to find—it’s something we can design. And when we do, we all thrive.

  • Can AI Help Us Reimagine What It Means to be Human?

    Instead of fearing AI, what if we embraced it to help us become more human? AI that empowers creativity, amplifies empathy, and helps us define a new, more connected world.

  • Could Social Media Actually Improve Your Mental Health?

    What if instead of mindlessly scrolling, social platforms were designed to improve mental wellbeing, not exploit it? A feed that prioritizes human connection, knowledge-sharing, and empowering conversations?

  • What If Your DNA Could Guide Your Daily Wellbeing Routine?

    What if your personal genetic makeup helped design your ideal health regimen? Imagine a system where your genetic predispositions—your strengths, weaknesses, and sensitivities—are factored into your daily schedule, eating habits, exercise, and even your social interactions. Personalized health, optimized for you, from the inside out.

  • Should Hospitals Be Designed by Environmentalists?

    Imagine a future where hospitals aren't just about curing illness—they're designed to prevent it by promoting a healthier environment. What if hospitals were built to be carbon-neutral, with green rooftops for therapy gardens, air-purifying materials, and sustainable food systems? A place of healing and regeneration, blending healthcare, sustainability, and environmentalism to create ecosystems that nurture health in every way.
