something to say about the world, its humans, and its possibilities. I mainline creative problem solving, thoughtful design, imaginative experiences, and good vibes only.I have over a decade of experience expressing human ideas, needs, and emotions through creative avenues. In my past life, I’ve been a teaching artist at Dia: Beacon, creative consultant, zine maker, and casting director with clients such as Instagram, Google, Netflix, Nike, Vogue, Amazon, Sephora, Always, and NY Times. My work has also been featured in Buzzfeed, CNN, Ad Week, Ad Age, and Teen Vogue, etc.I spend a lot of my time sharing ideas, getting on planes, over-ordering, making nostalgic playlists for one, and binging youtube videos of meticulously aquascaped home aquariums I’ll never make. I’m based in Brooklyn, NY and around the world.&nbsp; Go ahead, use the internet at me: violet.fanni.xie@gmail.com https://violetxie.world/Dia-Beacon Sun, 10 Apr 2022 22:00:35 +0000 Violet Xie

teaches you about your body.” With 12 millions users and counting, Clue tracks your personal patterns like: birth control, cramps, emotions, skin, hair, sleep, sex, pain, moods, cervical fluid, etc. The female led team at Clue takes privacy of this sensitive data seriously. ChallengeTo attract new users and increase loyalty and convenience in current users by adding a new feature: a period product subscription feature.

Overarching ideas that worked: Offering ways to connect users to other mobile apps for convenience, socialization or information. I.e. offering to set up notifications that link to your Google Calendar for when you are about ovulate or linking to articles to read and share.
