He joins the charity, which aims to improve accessibility through product design, having run Manifesto for a decade.
While at Manifesto he worked on digital campaigns with charities including RSPCA, Cancer Research UK and Alzheimer’s Society.
He is also a trustee of youth charity The Hub in Yeovil, Somerset and Asthma +Lung UK.
