From pediatric patient to founder.
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis at age 10 and ultimately underwent two liver transplants after spending much of my childhood navigating hospitals, tests, procedures, and chronic illness.
Years later, after building my career around products and experiences for children, I kept coming back to one part of the hospital experience I remembered clearly: children have remarkably little agency over what happens to them.
