About

I first began using Photoshop when I was fifteen, and that was my first step to becoming a designer.

Over 12 years I've led end-to-end UI/UX across web and mobile—research, journeys, wireframes, prototyping, usability testing, and design systems—then carried it through to front-end implementation. Accessibility (WCAG), responsive patterns, and performance are table stakes for me.

I collaborate comfortably with stakeholders and agile teams, translate goals into shippable UI, and iterate with evidence—user testing, metrics, and fast feedback loops—to deliver outcomes that balance user needs with business value.

Highlights

  • Blick Creative (2012) Selected 1st of 300 for an internship and hired part-time—formative small-studio experience in purposeful design and delivery.
  • Bindr (bindr.jobs) Co-founded and led research, journeys, branding, UI, and front-end; shipped a recruitment platform end-to-end—from discovery to production.
  • Training.gov.au (Federal Government) End-to-end product design for a large, data-heavy search experience: personas and journeys, wireframes, Figma, WCAG, and EDS design framework—translated into functional, responsive pages with strong user feedback.
