LEADING PRODUCT
Innovating the future of mental health
Amritha Prasad and her product team kick off every week the same way: Set a plan, then gather each Thursday to reflect and collect feedback. “Our design critique structure helps designers collaborate informally to consistently raise the bar,” she said. This hands-on approach also helps Prasad stay connected to the customer experience and directly enhance Calm’s future possibilities in the mental health space. “My daily conversations consist of figuring out how to get someone to effectively manage stress or find ways to cope with tough situations, which is super rewarding.”
