2025 Well-Being by Design Fellowship Case Studies

In 2025, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center hosted our second Well-Being by Design Fellowship. We kicked this season off with an in-person gathering in January 2025, and wrapped up with a webinar in May. 

These case studies capture highlights from each of our fellows’ work on their products throughout the six-month period. They share how they have been inspired to incorporate well-being frameworks into their products, and often, how they have been inspired professionally throughout the process. 

We are grateful to our funders, Pinterest, Google.org, and foundry10 for their support.
