Companion is an application I worked on with my friend Dan. Targeted at SMEs, it’s a toolkit for organisations to build healthy and productive workplaces.

It contains over 50 audio and written guides, breathing exercises, and strategies to help deal with common causes of workplace stress and anxiety - from managing pressure through to challenges like imposter syndrome. Featured on the NHS App Library, with 100k downloads and counting!

Companion was acquired by Terryberry in 2023 🎉.

🧭 Explore

Companion's library of expert audio guides is constantly being updated, and right now there are 300+ guides covering over 40 different topics. If you want to learn about stress, discover how to communicate more effectively or find a better work/life balance, there's an expert audio guide just for you.

🏋️ Exercises

We created a set of breathing and thought reframing exercises to relax and reduce anxiety. They really do work.

📷 Social media and marketing

This was all managed by myself and Dan in the early days. As well as assisting with Instagram and Soundcloud posts, I helped deliver a marketing website and numerous sales decks in the pursuit of investment (and yes, some of them worked!).

🧰 Component library

The application is built in React by a remote development team. Hand-off is done using Zeplin, and we quickly established a lightweight design system which allows us to build and test new things, fast.
