About me
I run a studio called Our Life’s Work (https://www.ourlifeswork.com); a creative collective of thinkers, designers and engineers.
With over 10 years of experience creating digital products for dozens of clients worldwide, my work has been featured in Apple's App Store, Forbes, The Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, WIRED, TechCrunch, The New York Times and BBC World News.
At the age of 15, I founded non-profit organisation, Thinkspace; beautifully-designed spaces in schools around the world, where young people can learn to code. The initiative gathered high-profile support from Sir Richard Branson, Stephen Fry, Steve Wozniak and Jimmy Wales, and inspired tens of thousands of students to learn to code.

We explored various concepts, including bedroom reservations, concierge service, arrival notifications (with Bluetooth beacons), personal preferences and digital keys.
- FrasersFrasers is a fearless collection of the world's most iconic sporting, luxury and retail brands. Frasers, also known as House of Fraser, approached us to design a new iOS app from the ground up for their national department stores. No stranger to pushing the boundaries of traditional retail environments, Frasers was keen to provide customers with the same elevated experience from the comfort of their own home. We produced a design which reflected the quality of the brands on offer in Frasers' d
- FastHeroFastHero is a gamified intermittent fasting app that turns your protocol into fun and motivating weekly missions. For every hour you fast, you earn an Energy Block. Earn enough Energy Blocks to save a Tower. Save enough Towers and you could save an entire City. Bill Roth approached us in May 2019 to build the FastHero app for iOS. In recent years, Bill experienced first-hand the overwhelmingly positive effects of intermittent fasting. It's a fast growing trend across the US and around the world
