Zoe
Zoe is the UK’s leading health tech start ups and a pioneer in personalised health monitoring. I joined as a contract Design & Creative Director to help jump start the business growth. During my time there we overhauled the brand and design language. I also delivered new product growth through increasing their sign up and activation rate by 6% over 3 months by focusing on UX improvements and experimentations. Since then Zoe has gone on to raise $79million in funding - but that’s mostly down to the awesome team there.

My Work & Play
Like any self-respecting nerd I spend a good amount of my time tinkering and exploring in the world of design. I’ve worked with start ups, think-tanks and charities as well as designing posters for my friend’s nightclub. Right now I’m building products with AI code assistants and going deep into the onchain world of crypto.
