Meet the Team
Maya Imani — Editorial Director
Maya spent a decade in product strategy at fast‑growing tech startups before realizing the constant “scale faster” mantra was wrecking her own attention span. She and Thorsten Meyer launched This Is the Antidote to share the frameworks she wished she’d had earlier: blending mindfulness, behavioral science, and smart use of tech.
Jonas Richter — Head of Research & Evidence Integrity
Jonas translates peer‑reviewed studies into plain‑English takeaways. He ensures every claim on the site is traceable back to primary sources and that we flag limitations or conflicting data.
Rina Patel — Community & Partnerships Lead
Rina nurtures our reader community, oversees newsletter collaborations, and curates expert voices for guest features. Her super‑power: turning strangers into allies for collective growth.
Kai Nguyen — Product & Experience Designer
Kai makes sure the antidote feels like one—minimalist layouts, lightning‑fast load times, and accessibility baked in from day one. He also prototypes new interactive tools, from attention‑audit quizzes to habit trackers.
Samira López — Sustainability Advocate
Samira audits our carbon footprint, manages our “green hosting” commitments, and produces our quarterly “Sustainable Creator” report, helping other digital publishers follow suit.
