This month we hear from Starr Jiang, Product Designer at Compass …
I am a part of the Compass team helping to … develop patient-facing technologies to support participants in our clinical trials of COMP360 psilocybin therapy
I work in mental health care because … I’m passionate about mental health, and particularly how it intersects with technology. I believe there’s a lot of potential in how we use technology to support people’s mental health. When done intentionally and carefully, technology can really empower people and be a very helpful tool
The part of my job I most enjoy is … having the opportunity to speak with the people that use the technologies we develop, including therapists, site coordinators, and our clinical team. These interactions show the impact of the work we do and make it real for me
My dream one day is … to cultivate a sustainable farm, run by a community that cares about local agriculture
The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is … not to take everything so seriously! It’s important to find joy, even in the small things
