The Story Behind Ask Joan

Ask Joan was born from lived experience and a deep understanding of what it means to feel unsafe in your own home. I wanted to create something practical, discreet, and empowering, a tool that could offer a lifeline when speaking out feels impossible. Technology became the answer: an invisible panic alarm hidden in everyday appliances, connecting survivors to trusted contacts or services without drawing attention. Ask Joan isn’t just an app; it’s a symbol of hope, resilience, and the belief that everyone deserves safety and peace of mind.
