MY JOURNEY
The birth of a safety net
In 2017 I reached the top of a hostel staircase in Seattle at midnight and felt a fever climb up my body. I had no phone. I had a C5 envelope with everything someone needed to help me — but it was a plain white envelope. No one knew what it was. No one opened it.
The next day I sat in a chair — not better, but not as bad. And that's when the thought hit me: what if it had gone the other way? Pocket Charter was born from that moment. Because information that can't speak for itself isn't a safety system — it's just paper.
My mission is simple
No traveller, worker or family member should ever feel invisible in an emergency. I'm building Pocket Charter to bridge the gap between having information and that information actually being found, understood and used when it matters most. Because I know what it feels like to have everything someone needed to help me — and still feel completely alone.
The Vision
I envision a world where a stranger in any country can tap a wristband, open a document or scan a card and instantly know how to help. No battery. No signal. No shared language required. Just clarity, when it matters most. That world doesn't exist yet. That's why I'm building Pocket Charter.

Founder & Visionary
Based in Devon, I founded Pocket Charter from a moment of vulnerability on a hostel staircase in Seattle in 2017. I had the information someone needed to help me — they just couldn't find it. That gap is what I'm fixing.
