My inspiration comes from caregiving and love. My husband recently passed away from dementia in February 2026, and that experience deepened my mission to design compassionate solutions for families navigating memory loss. Through Anchor3D M3Dia Tymes Foundation, I create therapeutic companions and storytelling experiences that bring dignity, comfort, and connection to dementia care.

I stay motivated by remembering that every idea I build could help someone feel less alone. Dementia affects millions of families, and creative design can bring comfort, memory stimulation, and emotional reassurance. When I see caregivers searching for better tools, it reminds me why this work matters. My mission is to design solutions that restore dignity, connection, and calm.

I would use the funding to advance the development of AL TYME™, a therapeutic companion designed to support individuals living with dementia. The investment would help create prototypes, expand educational resources for caregivers, and build partnerships with care communities and hospitals. My goal is to bring compassionate design solutions into spaces where families need them most.
