About Us

Understanding yourself
shouldn't be so hard

Patternwise is your companion in the journey of self-discovery — combining AI, proven frameworks, and thoughtful design to help you see yourself more clearly.

Our Mission

Making self-understanding
accessible to everyone

We believe that understanding yourself is a powerful step toward living with intention and clarity. Yet many paths to self-reflection are fragmented, difficult to access, or spread across disconnected tools.

Patternwise brings together guided reflection, pattern awareness, emotional understanding, dream exploration, and relationship insights in one thoughtfully designed space. It’s built to help you notice patterns in your experiences, deepen self-awareness, and reflect with curiosity, structure, and care.

Our Story

From the Founder

Justin Griffin, Founder & Software Engineer

“I'm building Patternwise because I have experienced firsthand the benefits of AI systems providing unique insights for personal and professional challenges in my life. I believe this new type of software, which can provide personalized guidance and insights, will change how we understand ourselves. And I wanted to point that capability at the hardest problem there is: making sense of your own patterns.

I've been building for the web since 2012, and I’ve spent years in reliability and software engineering, learning the discipline of making systems people can actually trust. It taught me to care about the things that never show up in a demo. You can't always predict what happens at scale, what happens when something breaks, and the exact moment someone decides whether a tool is worth their trust. With something this personal, that moment is everything.

So that's what Patternwise is! It’s that same rigor brought to inner work. Privacy by design, encryption that creates a safe space, and a tool built to help you understand why you show up the way you do, or just to learn a little about yourself.”
