Harrison Cohen is the founder of Blated®, a company focused on reinventing how people take powdered supplements and herbs. His interest in health started early, shaped by body image struggles and an unhealthy relationship with dieting and supplements. Over time, that experience pushed him to rethink how people use these products and how the process could be simpler and more honest. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Central Florida and brings a systems-focused mindset to everything he designs. His work centers on efficiency, transparency, and encouraging people to make informed decisions about their health.
