About

In the last semester of my Supply Chain Management and Business Information Systems degree, I had a ‘disruptor’ moment – creative by nature, an active volunteer in various organisations and a problem solver, I developed a keen interest in accessible design and followed that with a 6-month UX/UI course.

It has been an incredible learning journey as I continue to strengthen my design skills and capability, tackle challenges head-on and develop innovative end-to-end solutions while having fun! I thrive on understanding human behaviour, uncovering patterns, learning through experimentation and pursuing continuous improvement and growth.

Outside of work, I trade real-world problems for bouldering problems at my local gym – or a competition somewhere in Australia. I’ve also been lucky enough to have been part of the State team since 2022!

Focus Areas

UX Research

Using diverse research methods throughout the design cycle to reveal genuine user needs and uncover valuable insights.

UX Validation

Deepening my understanding of user interactions to identify issues and opportunities early in the process.

UI Design

Crafting low to high-fidelity designs that balance aesthetics and functionality, and building prototypes to present features to stakeholders.

Collaboration

Consistently seeking feedback from my team, stakeholders, and fellow designers to collaboratively enhance the product.

The Australian Aboriginal Flag Torres Strait Islander Flag

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation whose land I live and work on, and recognise their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. I pay my respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present.
