About Billie Whitehouse
Billie Whitehouse is the CEO, designer, and director of Wearable X. Once compared to Elon Musk by Business Insider for her innovative fusion of hardware, software, and apparel in wearable technology, she is recognized for pioneering products such as Nadi X and the Fan Jersey, showcased at Super Bowl 50. Billie continues to energize the fashion industry by transforming it into one driven by technology and dedicated to enhancing everyday life.
As CEO, designer, and director of Wearable X, Billie blends hardware, software, and apparel to create cutting-edge wearable technology. She is best known for developing Nadi X, an advanced system designed to optimize yoga practice. Through her work, Billie is redefining fashion as a medium that not only inspires but also improves well-being.
An aesthetic specialist with an innate curiosity for technology and innovation, Billie approaches design as both a garment engineer and a visionary. She believes that people should not have to look like the technology they rely on. Her designs are sharp, experimental, confident, and subtly feminine—seamlessly integrating form with function.
In 2021, Billie and Wearable X were featured at the Venice Biennale and in Limits of Humanity at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. Business Insider named her among the 30 most important women under 30 in tech, while Fast Company listed her among the 100 Most Creative People in Business. She also received the Fashion Group International Design Technology Award and recognition from Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies in Fitness. Earlier highlights include winning The Wearable Award in Paris at Showroom Privé, appearing on The Jimmy Fallon Show, and being compared by Forbes to Steve Jobs and Jerry Seinfeld for her human-centered design infused with humor.
Billie is a sought-after keynote speaker who has presented at events including The New Yorker Tech Fest, Fortune’s Elevate, Wired Retail UK, Fashion Futures 2021, Pi Apparel, Wearable Technologies Palo Alto 2021, Cannes Lions 2015/2016, Condé Nast Digital Russia 2016, India Fashion Forum 2016, and many more.
