Anita has always been interested in computers from an early age; very early on, her dad gifted her a ZX spectrum. However, it took until she was later in her career to actually move directly into a coding career by becoming an automated tester. Before that, she spent many years working in a support role in various financial technology institutes, working closely with analysts, developers and testers, noticing the lack of young women in the space.
Outside of her day job, she has focused on trying to encourage more young women into technology roles with the Dell Stem Apire Mentoring program.

Rachit Mathur

Rachit Mathur

I like to present my work as resonating with the homepage of "Wired" magazine - it's all & everywhere! My design practice is about exploring unconventional ways of doing things. Why follow the crowd when you can pave your own path, right? I approach each project with a curious and exploratory mindset, eager to discover new solutions and push creative boundaries.

I get excited to study somewhat notionally trivial interactions, weird scavenger hunts, the small talk people do to curb awkward situations or stuff that is mundane but understudied. I believe something as simple as "What people carry in their bags (and why?)", the role of "faith" in online transactions, or even the conversations they brew at chai shops - can impact our designs in much broader senses and could package a really emotional experience for the users.
