Chelsea Coe

Founding Product and Research

Nirva

Chelsea Coe is Founding Research & Product lead at Nirva, an AI companion designed as a piece of jewelry, made to be worn every day and to understand the life of the person wearing it. At Nirva, she is helping shape how a deeply personal kind of technology can earn people’s trust, feel as natural as something you’d choose to wear, and fit meaningfully into their lives. She has spent her career at the intersection of human behavior and product design, most recently as Head of Research at Headspace and before that leading design research at Fjord. With a PhD in political psychology, Chelsea brings a deep understanding of trust, belief, and decision-making to the question of how technology can better serve people, and she believes the most important work in research today is making sure that as products become more intelligent, they also become more human.
