My Vision

​

I founded Zen Cube with a single mission: to bring emotional clarity, inner balance, and modern mindfulness into people's daily lives through beautifully designed, science-informed emotional technology.

Zen Cube was created as a quiet sanctuary people can hold in their hands — a moment of grounding, whenever and wherever they need it.​​​

 

​

My Background

​

With over a decade of experience as a Bilingual Special Education Itinerant Teacher in New York City, I have dedicated my career to supporting neurodiverse learners and families. My work centers on emotional regulation, trauma-sensitive practices, and human-centered learning design.

As a mindfulness practitioner and a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (to be awarded January 2026), I combine neuroscience-informed practices with compassionate, accessible design to make emotional well-being part of everyday life.

​

Why I Created Zen Cube

​

Throughout my years working closely with children and families, I witnessed how emotional overwhelm and sensory imbalance affect people at every age. I often saw how a moment of calm — a single grounding pause — could change an entire day.

I wanted to create a tool that brings that moment to anyone, anywhere.
A tool that is tactile, warm, intuitive, beautifully crafted, and rooted in evidence-based emotional design.

Zen Cube grew out of this belief:
well-being should be simple, sensory, and always within reach.

​

​

Academic Direction & Vision for Impact​

​

My current academic direction centers on the intersection of emotional technology, mindful design, and inclusive learning — areas I plan to deepen through future graduate study at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (LDIT).

Zen Cube is not only a wellness product — it is a long-term platform for emotional regulation, modern mindfulness, and human-centered innovation.
