About Elmer Zinkhann
Profile
Digital Catapult,
Head of Design
I’m a York-based service designer who cares about making things work well for people.
In my current role I'm Head of Design at Digital Catapult, leading a team of designers who help unlock the challenges of the application and adoption of deep tech through product design, service design and service transformation.
In addition to my work, I'm also part of the SDN UK Chapter committee, on the board for the Catapult Design Network, a LEGO Serious Play Facilitator and I'm a Design Council Expert.
To me, service design means...
Inspiring teams to work together and solve complex challenges.
