Over the years, I've enjoyed creating experiences for brands used and loved by many. Notable ones include Bunnings, AustralianSuper, BMW, KFC, HESTA, Nissan and Kmart.
I get a big kick out of collaborating with others to create high-quality experiences at scale with speed while championing accessibility and inclusion. Over the years, I have honed my skills in many different areas of design which ultimately allowed me to understand customers and their needs better, enabling my design work to achieve real outcomes for users and businesses.
A big part of design for me is about control, curiosity, grit and enablement. Driven by these values, Iβve developed a passion for strategic planning, leading research-focused projects, and creating collaborative, inclusive work environments. These principles not only guide my approach to design but also fuel my commitment to making a real impact at scale. I also love pushing Figma to its absolute limits and occasionally firing up VSS to learn more about the development side of things.
