Mangrove: Designed by and for ADHD minds, as they actually are. Market research and a new approach to understanding how we work.

We’re building a new system called Mangrove — a set of tools, frameworks, and workflows designed by and for people with ADHD as they actually show up, not how the world tells them they should.

This isn’t about productivity hacks or trying to “fix” ADHD. It’s about creating powerful systems that finally fit the way our brains work — embracing nonlinear thinking, scattered brilliance, wild idea chains, forgotten tabs, 3am notes, and all the stuff that doesn’t fit neatly in a planner.

Alongside the design, we’re developing a new approach to deep qualitative research. We’re capturing the real, lived experiences of ADHD so we can build something that genuinely works, while deeply exploring the reality of being inside our heads in a way that’s never been possible before now.

I’d love to speak with you one-on-one or in a small group. You don’t need to prepare anything — unless you want to. You can ramble, reflect, vent, ideate, send a voice note or email a long list, or just talk for 20 minutes straight. However your brain works, that’s what I want to hear.

I want to know things like:

• Where do you get stuck or overwhelmed?

• What tools waste your time, make you feel worse, or break your flow?

• What would a dream system look like for you?

• What’s amazing about your mind that feels underused, undervalued, or invisible?

• Where do you leak energy, lose confidence, or repeat the same frustrating loops?

This is about validating ADHD minds as real design personas — not problems to workaround. You deserve tools that are as smart, dynamic, and powerful as you are.

What this might involve:

• A one-off call (solo or group) for research

• Submit a voicenote or written braindump if you’d prefer not to talk - or any other way of sharing. We can use AI to integrate insights even if they come as scrawled sketches on the back of a napkin :)

• Option to become part of a small ongoing feedback group

• Compensating your time/feedback with early access to Mangrove tools and group AI support/training for those who are interested

• Co-designing future sessions where we learn together what works best

I’m especially interested in people who want to contribute ideas, reflect on tools, and help shape something meaningful. You don’t need to be “organised” — just real, curious, and up for helping build something better.

If this sounds like you, just drop me a message or fill in the form below. I’d love to hear how your brain really works — and make sure we build systems that respect and reflect that.

At Mangrove, we treat ADHD minds with the same rigour, respect, and design investment as any founder, executive, or strategist.

We start by building systems that prove what’s possible: not just talking about inclusion, or offering token workplace accommodations, but designing around how you actually, naturally think.

By doing this work seriously, we help ADHD people see themselves differently - not as problems to fix, but as valid, valuable design partners worthy of systems that support their natural way of being.

And once you’ve experienced systems that finally fit you, you start expecting nothing less.

To support our market research, all 1:1 and group sessions with the Mangrove team are recorded using Fireflies AI transcription. By participating in a session, you consent to this recording. Your personal details will never be shared. We use anonymised insights only to inform the development of our tools, systems, and services. If we later run a formal study or wish to use the recordings for a different purpose, we’ll reach out to request your explicit consent. You’re always free to say yes or no — with no pressure or consequences. You can also ask us to delete your recording at any time.
