Ethical Scripting: Navigating Trauma Triggers in Video Content
A mental health app's PTSD video goes live. 48 hours later: distress, not praise. Viewers triggered by details they never consented to see.
Even well-intentioned content can harm when scripts prioritize impact over safety.
Two critical guidelines:
1. LEAD WITH CONSENT, NOT SHOCK. Does this detail serve understanding, or drama?
2. USE PERSON-FIRST LANGUAGE. "Person with PTSD" not "PTSD sufferer." Language signals safety.
The full LinkedIn post covers:
→ All 5 scripting guidelines
→ How to write content warnings
→ Embedding crisis resources
→ Timestamp strategies
I write scripts for digital health companies navigating clinical accuracy + audience safety.

Trying to explain a whole vibe in one hero section. Take a look at the landing page and tell us, too much info or just right?
The headline is strong and clear.
The only thing that might compete for attention is the trends card — it slightly splits focus from the primary CTA. Maybe simplifying the hero to one dominant action could increase conversions.
Lost+Found: Designing for Empathy in a Disposable World
The Concept (Shaping Culture)
In an era of instant gratification, we treat objects as replaceable. But memories—like a child’s toy or a grandfather’s watch, can't be easily reordered online. Lost+Found reimagines the community board to foster altruism, creating interactions that feel "safe" even in moments of panic.
How I Used Figma Make
I used Figma Make to bridge design and emotion, focusing on "Calm Interaction":
Leveraged responsiveness to ensure the shift from "Panic" (Losing) to "Action" (Reporting) feels seamless and grounding. No sign up, chill you can borrow your friend's phone to post.
This isn't just an app for finding keys; it's a design for finding each other.

“Reunite what matters” is a powerful emotional anchor.
Curious — how are you thinking about trust and verification between strangers? That seems critical for adoption.
We judge what we don’t understand. But could you survive a day in their shoes?
I built POV: SoulSwap, an immersive empathy simulator that forces you to inhabit the invisible struggles of others. Built with Figma Make, this project uses a "No-Win Scenario" logic and a unique OLED reflection feature to turn your screen into a mirror for your own soul.
Trade your privilege for their reality, just for a moment.
