About

Welcome to Howlite and Coffee

I’m Moodthy—a digital product designer, biochemistry and computing graduate, and a mom to a bilingual, speech-delayed preschooler.

Here on Howlite and Coffee, I write about living mindfully in a tech-driven world, sharing small, science-based experiments in design, wellness, and everyday skills. My approach centers on curiosity, creativity, and resilience—not hustle or perfection.

I started this blog during the pandemic, when most of us faced isolation and uncertainty. Through many conversations in DM’s and discord groups, and sharing various links and resources that helped me with others, I realised that publicly documenting what I was learning—about resilience, routine, and connecting meaningfully—could be helpful to others on a similar journey.

A Place for Stories and Growth

Unlike the “niche down” advice you often hear about blogging, Howlite and Coffee is where I share the full picture. I explore design and tech, but also the human side of it: our relationship with the internet, mental health, and ways to incorporate science-backed habits into daily life.

As a parent of a bilingual, speech-delayed child, I share activities, tips, and STEM-based learning ideas that foster curiosity and language development.

‘Experiments’ vs ‘life hacks”‘

My journey with ADHD shapes my approach to organisation and self-compassion, embracing life in mindful steps rather than striving for “hacks” or shortcuts.

I think of these steps as “experiments.” Experiments are about trying things out with curiosity and flexibility—seeing what works and what doesn’t.

If something doesn’t go as planned, it’s not a failure; it’s just part of the process. I try, adjust, and try again, finding what fits for me in a way that feels sustainable.

Let’s Connect

Whether you’re here for design insights, evidence based health and cognitive science roundups, reflections on resilience, or tips on supporting young children with speech delays, I’m glad you’re here.

Thanks for joining me in this journey of mindful growth and curiosity.
