Nadia Brennan
Science journalist & long-form editor·Edinburgh, Scotland
I write about the messy middle of science — the years between a promising result and a thing that actually works. Ten years on staff at national desks, now independent, mostly covering climate adaptation and public health. My favourite stories are the ones where the data and the people disagree, and you have to sit with both.
Experience
2021 — Present
Independent journalist
Bylines in The Atlantic, Wired, Nature- Report and write long-form features on climate adaptation, usually 4,000–8,000 words.
- Two pieces cited in UK parliamentary committee evidence on flood planning.

2017 — 2021
Senior science correspondent
The Northern Review- Led the paper's pandemic coverage across 2020, coordinating a desk of six reporters.
- Built the outlet's first data-led explainer format, which became its most-read recurring feature.
- Mentored three junior reporters, two of whom now run their own desks.

Nadia files the piece you commissioned and then quietly hands you a better one. She is the rare reporter who will tell you when her own premise has collapsed.
She can hold a complicated scientific argument and a human story in the same paragraph without flattening either. That is much harder than she makes it look.

Twelve years making physical things arrive where they are supposed to, on the day they are supposed to. I work on the unglamorous half of operations: warehouse throughput, carrier contracts, and the forecasting that stops a peak season from becoming an incident review.
Experience
- Run a 140-person operation across two distribution centres and a partner carrier network.
- Cut average order-to-door time from 4.1 to 2.6 days without adding headcount.
- Renegotiated the carrier book in 2023, saving roughly €1.8M annually at equivalent service levels.
- Introduced a weekly forecast review that took peak-season stockouts from routine to rare.
- Owned fulfilment for the Benelux region across 60 stores plus e-commerce.
- Led the warehouse management system migration — 11 weeks, no missed shipping day.
- Built the returns process that later became the group standard.
- Demand planning and supplier scorecards for a perishable-goods portfolio.
- Where I learned that a forecast nobody trusts is worse than no forecast.

What colleagues say
Marcus brought us a carrier proposal with the downside case on the first slide. That is not how these conversations normally go, and it is why the board approved it in one meeting.
He ran the WMS migration as calmly as anyone I have worked with. Eleven weeks, two sites, and the floor team never once felt like it was being done to them.

Kyoto, Japan
Listening for the awkward pause. I am a researcher, which mostly means I sit with people while they use something and try not to rescue them. Eleven years of it, across banking, public services and one long stretch in agriculture software. The work I am proudest of usually looks like a decision that did not get made — a feature quietly dropped, a redesign postponed a quarter until we understood why people were doing the strange thing. I write everything up, because a finding nobody can find again is not a finding. I run studies in Japanese and English and have made peace with being slower in the second one.
Work
- Lead research for a platform used by about 30,000 smallholder farms across Japan and Korea.
- Spent the first six months in the field rather than in the product, which is why the second six months went well.
- Built a repository of 340 tagged sessions that designers actually search before starting work — the adoption problem was social, not technical.
- Mentor two researchers and run the practice's study-design review.
- Research on residency and tax services used by people who had no alternative to using them.
- Ran accessibility studies with participants who were routinely designed for and rarely consulted.
- Wrote the service standard's research chapter, which is now the thing I get emailed about most.
- Usability and concept testing across retail banking apps and branch tooling.
- Learned to present a finding to people who had already decided, and to know when that was worth doing.
Transcription, recruitment and eventually moderation. Three thousand hours of watching other people run studies badly and well.
Studies
Forty-one farm visits across six prefectures, watching people use a product designed for a desk while standing in mud with one glove off. The report ended one roadmap and started a better one. It is the only research I have done that changed the hardware requirements.
sugimoto.example/fields- Field research
- Agriculture
- Ethnography
A year following people through a form most of them filled in wrong at least once. We found that the failure was almost never comprehension — it was that the form asked for a document nobody carries. Completion went from 54% to 88% after we stopped asking.
- Public services
- Accessibility
Our first two research repositories failed because they were archives. The third worked because it was organised around the questions designers ask on a Monday morning rather than around the studies we had run.
- ResearchOps
- Knowledge management
A long piece on moderating people who are being polite to you. Mostly about silence, and about the three seconds after you think the answer has finished. Widely shared, occasionally argued with.

Praise
Hana came back from the field and told us, gently, that we had built the wrong thing. She had the evidence arranged so that nobody had to lose an argument to agree with her.
She is the only researcher I have worked with who writes up the studies that found nothing. Those write-ups have saved us more money than the exciting ones.

Rosa Adeyemo
Product manager — clinical software
I build software that clinicians have to use whether they like it or not, which sets a fairly high bar for not wasting their time. Eight years across hospital systems and remote monitoring. My rule is that nothing ships until I have watched someone use it during an actual shift.
Toronto, Canada
Experience
Lead Product Manager
2022 — Present- Own the inpatient documentation product used across eleven hospitals and about 9,000 clinicians.
- Cut median note-completion time from 6.4 to 3.8 minutes by removing fields rather than adding shortcuts.
- Ran the FHIR migration that finally let us stop maintaining four bespoke integrations.
- Sit on the clinical safety board, which means I have signed my name to things that matter.
Product Manager
2019 — 2022- Ran the remote cardiac monitoring product from 300 to 14,000 enrolled patients.
- Redesigned the alert model after we found nurses were dismissing 92% of notifications unread — the fix was fewer alerts, not better ones.
- Built the escalation pathway with the clinical team instead of for them, which took three months longer and worked.
Associate Product Manager
2017 — 2019- Lab ordering and results delivery for a regional network.
- Learned regulatory documentation the slow way, and that a workflow diagram nobody in the lab recognises is fiction.
Clinical Systems Analyst
2015 — 2017- Supported the EHR rollout across three wards, mostly at 3am during cutover weekends.
- The best product education I have had, and I would not repeat it.

Rosa is the first product manager I have worked with who deletes more than she adds. Our clinicians noticed before anyone told them anything had changed.
She came to nights for a week before she proposed anything. Nobody from a software company had ever done that, and it showed in what she came back with.
The alert rebuild was the cleanest spec I have been handed. It said what we were not doing, which is the part everyone else leaves out.

Offensive security researcher/Zagreb, Croatia
I break things on purpose, mostly firmware and the protocols underneath it. Nine years split between a national response unit and product security work, which means I have written both the advisory and the apology. I am considerably better at finding bugs than at estimating how long finding them will take.
Work
Principal Security ResearcherVetrenjača Labs
2022 — Now- Lead a four-person team auditing embedded targets — building automation, medical telemetry, one extremely stubborn parking meter.
- Found and disclosed 31 CVEs over three years, six of them rated critical.
- Built the firmware emulation harness that took our average time-to-first-crash from nine days to under one.
- Run the disclosure process, which is a fifth research and four fifths patiently emailing vendors who do not want to hear from me.
Product Security EngineerModrina Systems
2019 — 2022- Sat inside the engineering org rather than beside it, reviewing designs before anyone built them.
- Wrote the secure-boot implementation now shipping on roughly 400,000 devices.
- Killed two features by demonstrating what they would eventually cost us, which I still count as my best quarters there.
Incident ResponderNational Cyber Response Unit
2016 — 2019- On the rotation for critical-infrastructure incidents, including two that made the news and several that did not.
- Reverse-engineered malware samples for attribution and wrote the public technical breakdowns.
- Learned that the first four hours of an incident are mostly spent telling people to stop deleting things.

Larkfield Credit Union
Positioning & naming · 2024
Four regional credit unions merged and could not agree on what the combined thing was for. I ran nine weeks of member and staff interviews, found that the only claim all four could honestly make was speed of decision, and built the position on that. New name, new proposition, one 14-page document. Member attrition through the merger came in at 3%, against a board forecast of 11%.

Things I made
Hands On
Permanent handling gallery
A room of real objects children are allowed to pick up, with replicas only where the insurer insisted. Took two years to get approved and eleven weeks to build. Average dwell time is 24 minutes, which is longer than anywhere else in the building.
Sábados Abiertos
Free family programme
Free drop-in Saturday sessions with a bus route paid for by the museum. Started with nine families in the first month and now turns people away. The bus was the whole trick.

Independent designer working mostly with cultural institutions, small publishers and the occasional patient startup. I like identity systems that survive contact with people who are not designers, and I draw more than the job strictly requires.
Work
Kaap Festival
A full rebrand for a coastal arts festival — wordmark, a modular poster grid, and a colour system that shifts each edition without losing recognition. Now in its fourth year.
De Groene Boekhandel
Logotype, shelf wayfinding and a hand-lettered window series for an independent bookshop.
Atlas of Small Rivers
224 pages, 60 hand-drawn maps. Two years of evenings. Shortlisted for the Plantin-Moretus Prize.
Wilde Planten
Labels for a range of botanical syrups — twelve SKUs sharing one illustration language.
Museum Dr. Guislain
Wall typography and printed guide for a touring exhibition on psychiatric history.
Kwartaal
Art direction for a quarterly essay magazine, issues 7 through 18. Redesigned the grid at issue 12.
Halte
A condensed grotesque for signage, three weights so far. Slow project, no deadline, much happier for it.
Sunday Posters
One screen-printed poster a month, no brief, no client. Eighty-one so far.

- Identity, editorial and packaging work for cultural and independent clients.
- Usually two projects at a time — it is the only way the drawing stays good.

- Led identity projects for arts and public-sector clients.
- Ran the studio's internal type library and its uncomfortable annual portfolio review.

Eline gave us a system rather than a logo, which meant our volunteers could make posters for four years without asking her anything. That was the actual deliverable.

Independent game developer — design & code
Manchester, UK
I make small, mean, finishable games. Four shipped, one that ate two years and never came out, and a job before all that making other people's games run at 60fps. I do the design and most of the code; I hire out for art and music because I know what I am not good at.
Shipped
TALLGRASS
Survival roguelike · 2024A farming game where the crops fight back. Eighteen months, two people, 140,000 copies sold in the first year. Sat at 94% positive across roughly 6,000 reviews, which I still find slightly unnerving.
- Roguelike
- Godot
- Solo design
LAST BUS
Narrative game · 2022Ninety minutes, one bus route, eleven passengers who will not shut up. Made in four months on purpose after the last project nearly finished me. Nominated for Narrative at the Northern Games Awards.
- Narrative
- Short-form
SCRAPHEAP DERBY
Local multiplayer · 2020Four people, one sofa, cars made of garbage. Built for an arcade cabinet at a Manchester bar and then ported because people kept asking. Still my best-selling thing per hour of work.
- Multiplayer
- Physics
NORTHWIND
Cancelled · 2016 — 2018An open-world sailing game that got too big for one person and stayed too big for three. Killed it at the two-year mark. I write about the postmortem more often than I write about the games that shipped, because it is the one people learn from.

Open-source 2D toolkitThe collision, input-buffering and save layer I kept rewriting, extracted into something reusable. About 3,100 stars. Two commercial games I had nothing to do with now ship with it.
- Open source
- Tooling
Jam games
Ongoing · 31 and countingThirty-one weekend games since 2015. Three of them turned into real projects and the rest taught me what not to spend a year on. All free, all playable, most of them bad.
- Game jams
- Prototypes
Work
Founder & developer
2019 — PresentManchester
- Design, code, production and the tax return. Four titles shipped.
- Run a small contract network — artist, composer, QA — rather than hiring; it keeps the studio the size of my nerve.
- Self-published everything. Talking directly to players is the part I would not give up.
Gameplay Programmer
2016 — 2019Leeds
- Combat and traversal systems on a mid-size action game with a team of forty.
- Owned the frame budget for two years. Learned what shipping to certification actually costs.
- Left because I wanted to make the decisions, not implement them well.
QA Analyst
2014 — 2016Leeds
- Two years finding other people's bugs, which is the best design education I have had.
- Wrote the automation that replaced the worst of my own job.

2011 — 2014Final-year project was a physics toy nobody could play. Instructive.
Word of mouth
Dee sent us a build with a note listing everything wrong with it before we asked. That is not normal and I wish it were.
She cut a whole feature I had already drawn art for, paid me for it anyway, and the game was better. Easiest client I have.
Best frame-budget instincts on the team, and she made the rest of us better at profiling by refusing to do it for us.

Tobias Lindqvist
Hardware security researcher — firmware & radio
location: Malmö, Sweden
I take apart devices that were not meant to come apart: meters, medical pumps, car key fobs, the odd industrial controller. Mostly firmware extraction, fault injection and protocol work. Half the job is soldering and the other half is waiting for a fuzzer, so I have learned to be patient about both.

Experience
Fjord Labs — Principal Researcher, Embedded Security
[2021 — 2024Malmö]
- Lead the hardware team — four researchers, one very well-equipped bench.
- Published 31 advisories in three years, 19 with vendor-shipped firmware fixes.
- Built the lab's fault-injection rig from a glitcher, a stage and a lot of bad first attempts; it now runs unattended overnight.
- Testify occasionally as a technical expert, which is far less exciting than it sounds.
Nordkant Security — Senior Security Consultant
[2018 — 2021Copenhagen]
- Firmware and RF assessments for utilities, medical device makers and two automotive suppliers.
- Wrote the firm's embedded methodology after our third engagement quietly reinvented the same checklist.
- Roughly 60 assessments. The finding that mattered most was almost always an unauthenticated debug interface.
Grenland Consulting — Hardware Test Engineer
[2015 — 2018Oslo]
- Compliance and durability testing for industrial control hardware — the certification side, not the attack side.
- Spent three years learning exactly how these devices are built and signed off, which is why I now know where to look.
- Learned to write a report a non-engineer will actually act on. That skill has outlived every tool I used then.
Vindra Instrument — Firmware Engineer
[2013 — 2015Gothenburg]
- Wrote C for battery-powered flow meters — the other side of the desk.
- Being the person who has to ship the fix made me a considerably more useful person to report a bug to.
Vindra Instrument — Test Engineer
[2011 — 2013Gothenburg]
Production test fixtures and a lot of oscilloscope time. Started reading datasheets for fun here and never really stopped.

brownout
Open-source voltage glitching toolkit
A cheap crowbar glitcher plus the search harness that makes it usable — parameter sweeps, automatic re-sync, and a log format you can diff. Runs on a €40 board. About 1,900 stars and a steady trickle of people telling me their chip now boots into a shell.

Smart meter firmware extraction
Coordinated disclosure · 2023
Pulled signed firmware off a widely deployed metering unit through an undocumented factory mode, then showed the update signature check could be skipped entirely. Eleven months of coordinated disclosure with the vendor and a national CERT. Fixed in the field before I said a word publicly.

Infusion pump assessment
Client engagement · 2020
Six weeks on a networked medical pump. Found a bootloader that would accept any image over the service port. The interesting part was the year afterwards, helping them design an update path they could deploy to devices already in hospitals.

Tobias found the flaw and then spent a year helping us fix it properly, which almost nobody does. The report was written for our board, not for other researchers.
He will tell you when the interesting-looking bug is not actually exploitable. That costs him talks and it is exactly why I trust his advisories.

Joaquín Ferreira
Documentary director & cinematographer · Lisbon, Portugal
I make documentaries about work — what people do all day and what it costs them. Four features, a handful of shorts, and a long apprenticeship shooting other people's films. I prefer small crews and long shoots.
Films
Night Shift
▶ VisitA year inside a Lisbon hospital's overnight cleaning crew. Premiered at IDFA, distributed in 14 territories. Shot almost entirely handheld between 11pm and 6am.
The Salt Line
▶ VisitThree generations of a family running the last commercial salt pans in the Algarve. Won Best Cinematography at DocLisboa.
Holding Pattern
▶ VisitAir traffic controllers during the first months of the pandemic, when the sky emptied. Made for under €9,000.

Press & praise
Joaquín will wait four hours for a shot and then not use it. That patience is the whole reason his films feel the way they do.
Ferreira films labour without romanticising it — a discipline more documentarians should learn.

Freelance motion designer & animator · Barcelona, Spain
Twelve years of moving things around a screen for other people, most of it freelance. Broadcast packages, title sequences, explainer work when the rent is due. I have worked in five cities and out of a lot of borrowed desks, and I have finally stopped pretending that is a stopgap — it is how I like to work.

Experience
Freelance motion designerEstudi Costa
2020 — 2024My own practice — direct clients plus overflow work for four or five studios I trust.
Roughly 25 projects a year, from three-day cutdowns to six-week broadcast packages.
Two thirds of the work is repeat clients, which is the only freelance metric I actually watch.
Senior motion designer (contract)Nimbus Post
2019 — 2020Fourteen months embedded on a sports broadcast rebrand.
Built the After Effects template system the in-house team still runs; the point was to make myself unnecessary by the end.
Motion designerHalcyon Studio
2017 — 2019Title sequences and brand films for cultural clients.
First place I got to direct rather than execute, and the first place I found out how much of directing is scheduling.
AnimatorQuatre Quarts
2015 — 2017Character and 2D animation for agency work — mostly ads, one very long insurance explainer.
Learned French badly and cel animation properly.
Junior designerTaburet Creative
2013 — 2015Social cutdowns, lower thirds, whatever came in.
Three hundred deliverables a year taught me speed, which took another five years to unlearn where it mattered.
Design internColmena Films
2012 — 2013Made coffee, logged footage, was allowed to animate one end card.
That end card is why I do this.
Selected work
Copa Nord — broadcast packageNimbus Post · 2020
Full on-air identity for a regional football competition: opener, lower thirds, score bugs, twelve stadium variants. Ran for three seasons. Still the largest single thing I have delivered.
The Quiet CoastDocumentary title sequence · 2022
Visit ↗Ninety seconds of hand-animated coastline over archival stills. Six weeks, most of it spent on the first twelve frames. Screened at three festivals.
Museu del Disseny — wayfinding motionDirect client · 2023
Animated wayfinding and exhibition screens for a permanent gallery redesign. The brief was 'nothing should ever loop visibly', which turned out to be the whole project.
Vespre — nightly news refreshDirect client · 2024
Rebuilt an eleven-year-old news package for a regional broadcaster. Fully templated so a producer can build a segment without calling me at 19:40.
Banc Litoral — explainer seriesDirect client · 2021
Eight explainers about mortgage products. Not glamorous. Paid for the room I am typing this in and the client came back twice.
One Loop a WeekPersonal series · ongoing
Visit ↗A short animated loop every Friday since 2018. Over 300 of them. Three clients have hired me off a single loop, which is a better conversion rate than my actual portfolio.

Mireia handed over a package our producers could actually operate. Three years later nobody has had to call a motion designer at eight in the evening.
We bring her in when a project is late and complicated. She asks two questions on Monday and there is something on screen by Wednesday.
She spent a fortnight on twelve frames and was right to. The sequence is the reason people remember the film.
