Ollie Glass

Creative Technologist

I make complexity comprehensible, interesting things beautiful and difficult things possible. Imagination, bold ideas and systems thinking inspire me and inform my work.

I come up with ideas and build projects to engage and understand social audiences. I'm passionate about bringing social insight, technological innovation and imaginative marketing together - creating cool stuff that makes it possible to do new things, bringing out the best in people and hopefully making life a bit more fun for everyone! Before NixonMcInnes I worked in educational, business development, technology, research and marketing roles. In the last five years I've designed and ran a peer learning program for university students and faculty, helped artists create new forms of digital art by developing their own software, brought a psychoanalytic point of view to a social mentoring research group, helped a counseling service present a strong business case to the NHS, built collective intelligence tools to gather data from specialists and data-mined them for insight, curated an arts and music track at a UX conference, designed interactive installations and events, and written countless lines of code to power all sorts of things on the internet. After years of working in creative, digital, social and technological roles, it's great to be integrating all of this at NixonMcInnes.
