Prototype Workshop
Clover aims to research, design, and deploy a new social platform for young people that promotes positive identity development and a sense of belonging. We believe that environment shapes behavior and that toxic online environments are by design. Hate speech, social comparison, tech addiction This new online space will challenge the harmful design conventions of traditional social media - such as vanity metrics and its broadcast nature - that has resulted in shallow social connections, inauthentic self-expression, and erosion of self-worth. Ultimate success for Clover is developing a platform that has a positive, measurable impact on wellbeing.
