My story

Hello there! I’m a Type 1 visual designer, diagnosed 26 years ago. I’m into pump therapy, currently using a commercial hybrid closed loop with a Medtronic 780G and Guardian 4 sensors (occasionally going back to Freestyle Libre 2). Looping has been a life-changer 😀

Why the diabetic survivor?

Many, many years ago I had a blog where I posted advice to people with diabetes like me who were looking to travel... (it never became a truly useful blog).

I am an avid internet user, and during 2018 I created the Instagram account @thediabeticsurvivor to raise diabetes awareness using design to connect with, raise questions, and empower the diabetes community.

The whole idea behind is very simple: bring some joy and happiness to the diabetes community touching certain aspects of the 'diabetes world'.

Advocacy

I’m a #Dedoc° Voice and member of the Blue Circle Voices, International Diabetes Federation (IDF).

What I do

I'm a visual designer with over 15 years of experience.

I work as a Senior Designer transforming diabetes care globally in a digital healthcare company. I’m also a freelance consultant - currently very interested in all diabetes tech.

I have developed a wide range of projects working with others as a designer with different diabetes related organisations such as Eversense, diaTribe, Diabetes Daily, #insulin4all T1International, Camp Conrad Chinnock and Genteel.
