About me
I’m a product designer based in Melbourne, inspired by thoughtful tech that supports people and planet.
My work combines UX/UI, user research, accessibility and visual design, and is influenced by my background in linguistics, education and visual arts.
Offline, you might find me painting in oils, finding fresh tracks at the snow, or enjoying some tunes at a gig.
