Martin Jewiss is co-founder and managing director of The Familiar, a human-centred design and technology consultancy.

In his former career as a chartered biologist, he created and managed artificial ecosystems for tropical plants and animals. He often commissioned design and used innovative, inter-disciplinary techniques to solve novel problems.

Today Martin helps clients solve critical problems and innovate products and services using Design Thinking and agile methods. He also designs better customer and user experiences.

With a life-long belief in the power of inter-disciplinary working, Martin has the same focus on durable, valuable impact for clients today, as 20 years ago when growing a jungle.
