About

Formally educated

I studied user research and human-centred design at a university level, graduating with Honours and Distinction.

Feedback driven

Iterative design is the core of my practice: I work collaboratively to create functional solutions with quantifiable impacts.

Industry experienced

I've built up years of experience designing impactful products for partners, clients, and companies; I have the real-world experience to step in and get to work.

Always learning

Although I may be done with my education (for now), I believe there's always lots to learn from partners, users, friends, and the world around me.
