Hi, I'm Tori.

I'm a psychologist by training, a builder by nature, and a founder by following what I couldn't stop doing.

I've always been a tinkerer. Someone who dabbles in oil painting, picks up calligraphy, wanders into new art disciplines just to see what happens. Someone who designs her own favourite tracks and sings them — fluent in tune the way others are fluent in language. I make things. I always have.

My Masters in Psychology, Education and Linguistics gave me a framework for what I was already doing intuitively — paying attention to people. How they think, what they need, where they feel unseen. That's the foundation every Beanstalk app is built on. Not features. Not metrics. People.

I started building apps because I saw gaps — moments where technology could have connected people, supported a community, made someone feel a little less alone — and didn't. So I started filling them myself.

Then came Claude and AI — and everything accelerated. The ideas I used to sketch in notebooks are now products. The things I imagined but couldn't execute alone are now real. I'm not just building faster. I'm building truer to the vision. This is my dream era and I'm fully in it.

Beanstalk exists because connection matters. Community matters. Growth matters — not the vanity kind, but the quiet kind that happens when the right tool meets the right person at the right moment.

Every app we build asks the same question: does this bring people closer, or just keep them busy?
