With a background in industrial design and a career working in UX, UI, Brand and research across many fields, both in-house design lead, contract researcher and design team of one.
I relish diving headlong into customer and business problems and helping to build experiences that span well beyond the digital realm.
I’ve had the fortunate experience to work across many different industries and business scales from enterprise down to fledgeling start up. I’m a quick read and I understand the challenges of businesses at differing stages and scales. I love to get to understand a business it’s space in the world and it’s customers and help both find a great place to be. I love people and working in teams, building atop knowledge and skills of those around me.
With a great love for photography, typography, music production i relish making things with all my senses. When I’m not working I’m often playing with my kids, walking in the Dandenong ranges, cooking or working on one of many industrial design projects.
Why Pick me?
I’m a quick read.
I relish deep problem spaces and fresh challenges.
I think big, learn deeply/quickly and engage broadly wherever I work. I harness the insight that comes from everywhere in an organisation with the aim to impact change.
I’m a pragmatist.
Data, research and insights all drive impactful actions.
I use what already exists, can run guerrilla research or integrate into existing functions to create products and experiences that sit at the nexus of customer and business goals.
I thrive building visual systems that create harmonies from disparate elements.
I’m driven to make design systems where they’re needed, build design practices, mentor designers, help deepen brands and I deeply understand multi-channel interactions. For me design is for production, to be used, not just a prototype.
A nitpicker of type.
Fastidious, but not
a perfectionist. I love a well designed thing.
All my skills stem from a deep love and passion for great visual and physical design. To make things with others and share them with everyone is a big motivator for me.
I have over 20 years of experience working in both local and distributed design and product teams.
Worked within large enterprises, alongside SMEs, scaleups & startups, design studios and agencies.
I strive to raise the bar of teams through democratised tools and processes.
A fierce advocate for openness, collaboration, breaking down silos and owning and shareing the knowledge and assets of the teams and organisations have the privelage to work with.
Let’s design great things.
