Designing for Dignity: A Caregiving Product in Beta
Cherish is a subscription service for caregivers and individuals affected by dementia. I led the design effort from concept through initial product testing at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Developed in collaboration with medical experts and through a think tank at Harvard University, the product features meaningful resources designed to foster connection and enhance the caregiving experience.
“Anne is a pro. She is a jack of all trades, creates beautiful, heuristic work, and is uniquely capable of seamlessly blending the big picture and the most tiny of (important) details. Anne jumped feet first into designing for individuals with unique needs, asked thoughtful questions along the way, and worked design and production magic. She has many talents and has been a pleasure to work with.”
