Matthew Higham

Matthew brings to ELEMENT ZERO_SIX a solid, ever expanding understanding of a holistic design process with the user as the focus, underpinned by superb technical understanding and application. With a background working in London's leading design consultancies, Matthew has a diverse and comprehensive understanding of design and manufacturing in consumer and medical sectors. Whilst studying Product Design at Brunel University, Matthew completed a year long collaborative development with NHS Innovations, culminating in the winning of the HSBC Award for Innovation.

Understanding the requirements of users and translating these through to innovative solutions that not only look good, but function well, is at the core of Matthew’s work in design. He is driven by the sustainable future of the design industry, and the opportunity and responsibility that today’s designers have to make a difference and inspire change in the transforming world that we all live in. Matthew is currently seconded to Onzo as Product Design Manager, responsible for delivering Onzo’s physical product alongside the London based design team.

After hours, Matthew has a passion for rugby, both watching and playing, and has represented teams at a sub-national and premiership level. When not on the rugby park, he can be found participating in many other sports on the water, in the forest or on the streets of London, along with broadening his perspective on the world through travel.
