About Elise Hein

I’m a software engineer and designer building products for healthcare research at London-based Ctrl Group. Previously, I worked on personal digital branding at MOO, and researched development practices at UCL for my master's degree in HCI.

I live in Tallinn, Estonia, where I'm raising a toddler and an almost-toddler with @karlsutt.
