Worked with Currys PC World and Microsoft to look at some of the great female inventors, visionaries and trailblazers in history, and brought them to life as modern-day marvels.
- People like Stephanie Kwolek (1923 – 2014), who discovered the buttermilk-coloured yarn that we call Kevlar today; an invention has saved thousands of lives around the world.
- Or Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), who provided Crick and Watson with the missing piece needed to model the DNA helix.
- Or Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), considered the creator of the world’s first computer program in the 1800s. Yes, the world’s first.
- Or Marie Van Brittan Brown (1922 – 1999), who carefully sketched out a blueprint for the world’s first home surveillance system. Her patent has been used by inventors ever since.
