Angela Wu
Nice to meet you!
My name is Angela Wu and I'm the founder & Co-CEO of the Cortex Project.
As someone who's currently struggling with mental health, it feels frustrating and isolating when you're unable to be heard. So I've created this non-profit organization to spread awareness, knowledge, and a safe space for everyone dealing with Mental Health!

Hello guys!

Hi!
My name is Thuy-Tien Tran and I am a self-taught animator and comic artist. While those are activities I pursue on the side of my biology and premedical studies, I find creating art can have amazing applications in other fields, especially mental health! I wish to use my art to help others and tell stories of hope.
