Denise Hampson
CEO
Desire Code
Denise is a behavioural economics and experience design expert.
She has worked with hundreds of organisations in the UK and North America, in a career shaped by curiosity (and coffee) and her unique view of the world. She has spoken at many high-profile events and conferences, including TEDx, SXSW, Interface Health and Technology Summit and the UK House of Lords.
Between 1999 and 2004, Denise was a member of the highly successful Great Britain Track Cycling Team, and she is a past British Women's Sprint Champion and British 200m record holder.
Prior to her athletic career, Denise was a Systems Engineer at BAE Systems, specialising in human-system interaction and cockpit design on the Eurofighter Typhoon. This is what started her career-long obsession with human-centred design and creating systems and services that are best matched to real human behaviour.
