How it started

“All I wanted was a button to let my friends and family know I wasn’t okay”

 Meet Hannah

After developing POTS, a condition that causes her to faint, then 15-year-old Hannah Lucas, was terrified of being alone. What would happen to her if she fainted and no one was around? 

Hannah's fears quickly spiraled into anxiety and deep depression, which led to self harm. By the end of her freshman year of high school, she missed 196 classes due to her condition. 

It was during one of Hannah’s lowest moments, alone in her room and contemplating self harm, when the idea for the notOK App® was born. What if there was a button she could press and someone would immediately know she was not okay? 

When her condition stabilized, Hannah was able to take coding and entrepreneurship classes at local colleges, which empowered her to see her vision through. 

notOK® is Hannah’s first app and Bug and Bee, LLC is Hannah’s first company.

 

Meet Charlie

Watching his older sister suffer from a disorder made Charlie Lucas feel utterly helpless. He couldn’t drive her to doctor appointments. He couldn’t make her better. He couldn’t even catch her when she fainted. 

But Charlie knew he could step in to help his sister when she told him about an idea for an app she’d had. With the family nickname, “Tech Support,” Charlie went to work. He wireframed the app’s basic premise and figured out the best workflow. He even built Hannah a website and created their first logo. 

As the technical genius at Bug and Bee, LLC, Charlie is responsible for any updates, design ideas, and developer approvals. He’s already begun initial planning for their next app. 

notOK® is Charlie’s first app and Bug and Bee, LLC is Charlie’s first company.
