Advisory for health and science ventures.

From science to market

As an advisor or board member, I help founders and leadership teams with new product development, turning science and design into products and services that people adopt and investors back. I bring the view of a founder, a design engineer and Chief Experience Officer at Bloom, and I work with a small number of health and science companies at a time.

For founders and boards

Where I help

I work with founders and leadership teams on four areas:

Finding the real need. Needs-finding with patients, clinicians and users, and sharpening the problem worth solving.

Designing for adoption. Experience and product design that patients, clinicians and enterprise buyers stick with.

Commercial strategy. Business models, pricing and the move from pilot to rollout.

Sensory and neuroscience-led design. Applying neuroaesthetics to products, spaces and digital therapeutics.

Health, science and design

Spaces and environments. I also advise on how buildings, workplaces and care settings shape health and wellbeing: how sound, light, texture and layout affect people, and how to design for that. This draws on my Executive Course in Neuroscience and Design at Politecnico di Milano, which brings engineering and design together with physiology, psychology and neuroscience.
