What I have learned over the years with Headstream, is to think about who is not in the room when you are designing a solution. To me a beautiful digital ecosystem is limitless, and that is what excites me about the future of technology, is how limitless we can have solutions if we combine the potential of the human experience with digital technology.

More direct partnership with young people has allowed us to get direct insights into how our product resonate with younger audiences. This has helped us to vet ideas faster, iterate on prototypes before full development, and conduct more applicable user research across our full target demo.
