Frankie Woolf
MEng FRSA ⊛ Associate
I thrive at the intersection of creativity, technology and strategy. With a strong foundation in design, engineering, and entrepreneurship, I’m dedicated to creating innovation that prioritises ethical innovation centred on real-world impact.
Identifying as both queer and neurodiverse, I am passionate about leveraging technology to create inclusive solutions that empower underrepresented communities and drive positive social change.​
