Design Lead

Yarns.life


Yarns is an app that allows its members to create, store and share memories from their life.

I was the design lead and worked on this project for 18 months. The team was working across India, the U.K and the U.S.

The project is currently on hold due to a lack of resources.

The Design Challenge

Create an app that lets it’s members create and store the most important memories of their life.
Think about the nature of remembering and re-collecting a memory and how it can translate to a digital process.  
Allow for sharing and exchange while maintaining total user control and privacy.
Potential Users


An older age group that faces digital literacy challenges.

Caregivers or family members of someone with dementia.
New parents who want to save and archive their child’s journey.
