Aotearoa Digital Recovery Platform
A culturally grounded digital platform supporting people in recovery and their whānau is in progress.
Current Mahi: Digital strategy, user research analysis & co-design
The challenge
A passionate founder came to VL Studio with a vision: a digital recovery platform for Aotearoa that genuinely supports people in recovery and the whānau around them. The kaupapa needed a clear strategy and a credible business case before it could move forward.
Getting this right meant listening first, and building on the real experiences of the people the platform is for.
What we did
During the Discovery phase, the founder’s face-to-face interviews surfaced insights that shaped the strategy and business case VL Studio developed.
The mahi now moves into the next phase: a human-centred design process grounded in Te Whare Tapa Whā and guided by co-design with lived-experience voices and Māori communities.
The result
This project is underway. As it progresses we’ll share more about the approach and the outcomes.
