Hi! I'm Tchiki (pronounced "Chicky"). I was born and raised in health-conscious Boulder, Colorado. In 2015, I completed a PhD from The University of California, Berkeley in psychology, where I studied well-being, technology, & entrepreneurship. 

In 2016, I founded The Berkeley Well-Being Institute to innovate new ways to spread human happiness and well-being to all the people who need it. Since starting the institute, I've helped create well-being products that have now reached more than a million people worldwide. 

Mission

Although the science has revealed numerous ways for people live happier lives, products, programs, and services based on this research are not yet making real positive impacts in the lives of the people who use them. I aim to identify why these approaches aren't working and innovate creative, scalable solutions so that happiness products and programs really work.
