The tools didn't exist. So I built them.

Harness the Spark designs and builds neuroaffirmative apps, sites and systems that lighten the load for coaches and therapists, and genuinely work for the people they support.

№ 000 · My story

I spent years being brilliant at hiding.

Masking my way through an industry that rewarded people who looked a certain way, thought a certain way, performed a certain way. I was good at it. Until I wasn't.

Burnout didn't arrive slowly. It dismantled everything. And in the wreckage I finally understood why I'd been exhausted for so long. I am AuDHD. I had been running someone else's operating system my entire life.

What helped me rebuild wasn't a programme or a framework. It was making things. Writing code. Seeing something work. Creating Dave — a little blue fluffy mental wellness companion — in a moment of crisis, and finding that he was helping me hold it together.

That's when everything shifted. I wasn't just navigating a world that wasn't built for my brain. I was going to start building a better one. Everything below is what came out of it.

Testimonials · Their words, not mine

Built with care. Felt immediately.

Testimonial 01

As somebody who has had ADHD since before it was fashionable, combined with a traumatic brain injury, Lisa's tool is the first first first thing I have found that actually takes my disability seriously, and provides actual compassionate and extremely workable steps. In fact, I would go so far as to say that as somebody who has spent approximately $1 billion on apps that were supposed to do what this one does, this is the only one that does what this one does. If you get my drift.

— Peri Lyons · Celebrity Psychic

Testimonial 02 · Re: NeuroNimble, Spec. 01

This app is an absolute joy. It is warm, clever, playful, and genuinely helpful, not just another bland productivity tool pretending to understand overwhelmed brains. I love how personal it feels, from the emotional check-ins to the practical supports like body doubling, energy-first planning, the decision matrix, and the private sparkle journal. It manages to be sparkly without losing substance, and kind without sounding patronising. Honestly, it feels like a tiny pocket coach made just for me, and you can feel the care that went into it.

— Kathy · AuDHD Coach

Testimonial 03

She's loving it! She's sat next to me and been using it for a while, doing drawing and now writing. She likes writing in it, and knows that's how she can record how she feels in private. It's a safe digital space that's all hers.

— Simon · Parent

Testimonial 04

It's always a pleasure working with Lisa. Lisa's programme gave me great clarity I hadn't been able to articulate on my own. It helped me connect the dots across my career, define my real value, and translate that into a clear narrative and practical tools I now use with confidence across CVs, LinkedIn and interviews.

— Donald · Strategy Director
