In technology, success is measured by your hustle - fighting your body and ignoring your stress.

As technologists, we're in a unique position to present as mentally fit by being productive. We're asked to overcome our needs and see them as challenges to be solved with apps or innovations. Jeff Bezos tells his employees there is no work-life balance. If it makes you sad, call this toll-free number for support we tell them.

I'd like to interview people who are designers or engineers within the tech industry to talk about how the unique pressures of our work has impacted your mental health.

Important details... The interviews will be written into profiles within a long-essay that will be pitched to a publication like Wired or FastCompany. While I'll be asking hard questions, care will be taken to keep it from being "pain-porn" or exploitative for the sake of entertainment. The goal is to share our experiences so problems within our practices can be addressed. Your identifying name will be used, so if you're uncomfortable with publicizing your experiences, this might not be for you.
