Our Story

It all started on a rainy, dark evening in early March 2020. Sophie attended Mobile UX London's "Sustainable UX" meet-up, shortly before the 2020 lockdown started in the UK.

Hearing Tom Greenwood -from Wholegrain Digital- share information about pollution generated by the web and what designers can do about it, she realised these ideas needed spreading, fast. At the time, she was mentoring UX/UI design students who were looking for their first UX/UI design contract, job or project.
