With more than 22 years of experience as a designer, I’ve consistently placed people at the center of my work, crafting services and products that improve real-world experiences across government, publishing, telecommunications, banking, defence, and private sector domains. I’ve delivered outcomes both independently and as part of cross-disciplinary teams in government, finance, defence, and private sector contexts. My approach blends research, design thinking, and hands-on delivery to create meaningful user experiences. I bring a robust, pragmatic approach to digital product development—leading research, co-design workshops, journey mapping, prototyping, MVPs, and production. I thrive in cross-functional teams, mentor colleagues, and blend hands-on design with strategy to deliver measurable value.
