Based in Sydney with over 10 years of experience, specialising in UX, Product and Inclusive Design. I currently work at a creative agency and have also been working independently since 2023.

I work across UX and Product Design with strong end-to-end UX/UI experience, using research, strategy, and collaboration to shape clear, user-focused solutions. I enjoy turning complex problems into simple, intuitive experiences through workshops, prototyping, and thoughtful iteration. I’m also passionate about inclusive design—creating accessible products that empower every user.
