ABOUT STEPHANIE H.
How did you go from architecture to tech startups to wellness?” I get asked this a lot.The truth is, I moved over 20 times growing up.I studied architecture because I wanted to build homes for people - spaces where they feel seen, heard, and understood. This background taught me to design with people’s experience at the centre.But over time, I realized something:No matter how beautiful a space is, if someone isn’t at peace inside, it won’t feel like home.That idea stayed with me.While in school, I stumbled into the tech startup world: building and failing startups, going to hackathons and conferences, chasing the next idea. Even after graduating, I continued to stay deep in the space. But somewhere along the way, I was caught in a cycle of proving, and I began to lose my alignment.I wore burnout like a badge of honour… until my body said stop.I found myself in therapy. Coaching. Healing spaces.Relearning how to rest. How to feel. How to regulate my nervous system. How to come home to myself.And I realized…I still wanted to build homes after all, just not only physical ones.I’m drawn to exploring how aesthetics, spaces, and in-person experiences shape the nervous system and support emotional well-being. Designs that help people feel at home within. 🤍That intention continues to shape the work I’ve been doing, including:• Supporting wellness-centred brands with storytelling, design, strategy, and community• Co-running WellxTO, a wellness community for founders, tech, and corporate professionals to slow down and reconnect through events and a curated collection of wellness resources• Previously co-building The Sixth, an AI tool for emotional wellness and relationship growthIf you’re creating something that helps people come home to themselves,I\'d love to connect.
