The rock pool is so useful, I go there when I wake up to start my day nice and when I go to sleep. The stories are my favourite part, I listen to one whenever I can. Thank you for this game, I love it so much.”

• Technical co-founder of Bounce Works, a startup and consultancy setup with psychotherapist and friend Louis Weinstock.
• Key highlights: Digital health, fundraising, lean startup
• We created Bounce works to explore creation of digitally connected products which could genuinely help improve the emotional wellbeing of children and parents (and which children and parents actually want to use).
• Along the way we have learnt a huge amount about the business of consumer software, the reality of marketing and fundraising and the highs and lows of user-driven design and ultra-lean product launches.
• Following the hugely successful launch of our first app, Apart of Me we have spun it off into a standalone charitable organisation which continues to grow and to help bereaved young people looking for support.
