Hey, I am the creator of stutterful. My name is Phillip and I stutter. I have had this since I was born. When I was old enough to go to school, I was put into speech therapy. I went for articulation and fluency. But as a kid I thought I was being pulled from class to play games. So I looked forward to speech therapy. As I got older I tended not to like going to speech therapy. Even though I did enjoy skipping class. I would always get this feeling of not being normal, like there was something wrong with me. As I got older I felt more and more self conscious when I went to speech therapy. Overall I did enjoy my experience going through speech therapy in school and learned some tools that still help me today.

 

In high school I started programming: particularly video games. Eventually I learned that I like programming and I could have it as a career. In college I joined a computer science program. During my 2nd year of college I had an epiphany to create a website that serves speech therapy games. Even though it was an idea the seed was sowed.

 

As time went on, I became a software developer. I kept circling back to this idea. Then I started to think of a name. And I remember the moment When I came up with the name of this project. I was in my mom's backyard letting the dog out. I was thinking what unique word can I get through stuttering? And I combine stuttering and beautiful together. Thus making Stutterful. I eventually got a domain name for it and forgot about it. After a couple of years, I decided to start working on this idea. And here we are! In early development of this project.

 

Currently this is a side project right now. But I have many plans for this project.
