Hello! My name is Michelle and I am the Founder & Director of Made with Glove Ltd, a UK wearable tech company designing fashionable heated gloves for women.

Why heated gloves?

After suffering my own challenges during a 6 hour walking tour in Prague in -21 degrees of snow, my hands became numb and very painful from the cold. I had disposable hand warmers however, because I had my gloves on, I couldn’t feel the warmth of the hand warmers. So, in sheer desperation, I put my hand warmers inside my glove and I felt immediate relief.

Upon returning to the UK, I researched fashionable heated gloves for women. All I could find were big, black and bulky heated gloves for men who ride motorcycles or for skiers out in the snow.

And then I quit my job

It took me 3 years to resign from my secure job as an Australian lawyer to enter this new world of entrepreneurship. And I love it!

I won a wearable tech hackathon at Manchester Science Park and am working with Lancaster University to produce my prototype.

I love...

I love being creative, meeting new people and seeing how innovative we can be with technology to improve and enhance our lives. My aim is to also incorporate technology with fashion because when we look good, we feel good!

I am an advocate of supporting women in tech as well as being involved in innovative projects.
