About

I'm an Australia-based product designer and developer who cares about the details: micro-interactions, typography, spacing, hierarchy, feedback, accessibility, flow, and the split second where a user decides to stay or quietly close the tab. My work starts with the people who will use it. I create digital experiences that are easy to use, engaging to interact with, and beautiful to look at, because people deserve all three, and I take every project from early research through to production-ready code. 

Info

I hold a Master of Design in Interaction Design from Monash University and I am based in Australia. My work runs from research and journey mapping through to production ready code, with extra attention on micro interactions, typography, spacing, hierarchy and accessibility.
