  • Royal College Of Art
    Visiting Lecturer
    Royal College Of Art Apr 2019 - Present
    London, Greater London, Gb
    Visiting Lecturer on the Master’s Degree Healthcare + Design course run jointly with Imperial College's Department of Surgery. Since 2019, I have taught annually on the one-week module on Design for Behaviour Change in London. This is a mid-career course taught in eight one-week modules over two years. It draws equal numbers of designers and healthcare professionals, and it is rewarding to help these students achieve a better understanding of each other’s professions and learn ways to apply that to the design of products and services in healthcare. In one week, teams mixed from these two disciplines produce working prototypes of behaviour change products and justify them from a behavioural psychology perspective. It’s amazing what they create in that week.

  • Bridge Design
    President And Founder
    Bridge Design Oct 1992 - Jan 2018
    San Francisco, Ca, Us
    I founded and led Bridge Design a Medtech and Digital Health product design and engineering consultancy purchased by VC backed Ximedica in 2015. Early in the company's growth I positioned and differentiated it from more general design firms with our medical specialization making us competitive at the highest level for the most interesting work with financially solid clients. Bridge weathered multiple recessions during its existence and was known as a good place to work and develop a career, maintaining staff retention despite strong competition from larger design and tech firms. Growing to 30 people at its peak, the consultancy performed at the forefront of the industry, invoking a highly user-centered design approach that improved customer appeal and market share for clients ranging from startup to Fortune 100. Bridge garnered many industry awards and I was a sought after speaker and workshop presenter at many industry-leading conferences.
