We solve problems
Neontribe is a digital agency working in user research, software development and design. We're agile by instinct, and user-centred in our practice. We work together to identify and deliver on user need.
What we're doing
Help for young people visiting their GP with mental health issues
Challenges
Comic Relief’s 2012 Innovation Labs brought the voice of young people right into the design of services for them to use. Neontribe were one of a consortium who facilitated the labs. Eight of the ideas that came out of that process were selected for funding. One was Docready, which we were chosen to develop. 8 years later, it’s still helping hundreds of people every week.
Journeys to the Tribe
I was living the life of a sous-chef when I decided I wanted my weekends back. The college cancelled the programming course I started to get some credentials, but I carried on learning and got a bit of work experience with Neontribe. That was enough to get a part-time job here, and I kept on with the cheffing until I got a full-time offer. I'm now a project lead, representing Neontribe with customers all over the world. Neontribe got me into a career without needing a degree. They've got my work-life balance right. Sometimes, it's busy, sometimes it's quieter and I can take extra time to scratch around with interesting code.
