I help startups challenge conventions & become undeniable in their space.

I’m an Australian based Product Designer living in Sydney. I enjoy turning complex experiences into meaningful solutions. While my 8+ years of product experience focused primarily on app design, my experience also stems from a background in brand design. My design experience consists of product design, user experience, animation, interaction, illustration & brand direction. I thrive in fast-paced environments wearing multiple hats and working directly with stakeholders.

On the side

Building apps is my passion, and I love collaborating with friends to build and release apps. Friendly was the first app I created, acquired by a Canadian dating company, in 2021. My next app is a habit tracking app called habitat which will be the first of a suite of apps focused on task management.

When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my partner and our two spoilt pooches (Frenchie and a whippet). I love to travel, and you can find us anywhere there’s a fantastic beach, except when visiting my Canadian partner’s family in the snow. My favourite country so far is Bali! I’ve also recently started cycling, so feel free to connect with me on Strava.
