Meet the DESIGNER

ZOII HENRY

I am a creative engineer and a critical maker. Driven by the pursuit to transform health care, my goal is to recreate a health care system that prioritizes atypical minds and bodies. I take pride in incubating ideas and creating innovative possibilities. My passion for biomedical design can be traced back to my last year in high school, where I took a break to recover from medical complications after contracting dengue fever during an epidemic in my homeland of Jamaica in 2014. During that year, I spent most of my time immersing myself in creative outlets focused on incorporating the arts into my personal health and wellness journey. Through visual art, performative dance, and digital designing, I mused on transforming wellbeing for neuro/bio divergent, disabled and immunocompromised people.  As a medical designer, I specialize in the development of medical technologies and healthcare architecture, through Biomedical Engineering, Industrial Design and Medical Illustration.
