With over 10 years of experience across agencies, start-ups and in-house, my path as a practitioner has branched across all parts of print and digital design.

Graduating with a visual communications degree, I spent a large part of my career going deep and t-shaping my visual design capabilities: crafting broad proficiencies in brand development, illustration, animation and photography before finding my groove in User Interface and User Experience design.

While expanding my skillset, I worked up the ranks from junior through mid and senior designer roles to my current position as an Experience Chapter Lead at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Day to day I thrive in people management, operations and mentorship — providing guidance, creative critique and actively crafting our team’s responsive web and native digital platform experiences. I work closely with senior business stakeholders to develop product strategies with humans at the core.

Recently, I’ve also been furthering my education and expanding my capabilities in the world of Customer Experience (CX) and Human-Centred Design (HCD).
