Away Message: Personalize your final goodbye, for the people you’ll leave behind.

Most people don’t get to say goodbye. Over 60% of millennials have no will, insurance, or directives, leaving their favorite people unprepared—not just financially, but emotionally. The result? Unplanned chaos, financial strain, and complicated grief.

Away Message is a modern death-planning solution that lets users record and schedule personalized audio messages to be delivered after they’re gone. They can also curate their send-off, from the perfect playlist to alternative burial options—like becoming a tree.

I created this after losing my mom and several close loved ones. Since last year, I’ve conducted 162 discovery interviews, blueprinting the solution and building what I wish I had.
