I spent 10 years as an occupational therapist working in mental health — sitting with people navigating some of the hardest experiences of their lives. I learned how the mind and body are connected, how emotions live in us before we have words for them, and how the right tool at the right moment can change everything.

• Then I became a mum. And everything I knew professionally became deeply personal.
  
• When my children were small, I started noticing something. The resources available for helping children understand their feelings were either too clinical, too generic, or simply not engaging enough to actually work. I knew there was a better way — I just had to make it.
  
• I packed up and moved to Hong Kong, where I taught English as a second language to children in schools and privately. I watched children struggle to express themselves not just in a new language, but emotionally — and I saw how those two things were completely intertwined. A child who cannot find the words for "I am scared" in their first language certainly cannot find them in their second.
  
• That experience changed how I design everything. KY designX was born from 10 years of clinical expertise, the raw honesty of motherhood, and a deep respect for every child who is still finding their words.

• Everything I create is thoughtful. Built with real purpose. Designed for real moments.
