UX Designer, Researcher & Front-End Developer
I'm an experienced and passionate UX designer from Melbourne with over 10-years of experience working across a range of creative fields. I've worked in innovative project teams designing and developing software for healthcare, education, government, and lifestyle industries.
I have both UX design and front-end development skills. I'm passionate about engaging with customers and listening to their pain points to design intuitive online experiences. I value putting customers at the forefront of every decision. I can think big picture as well as take an iterative detail focussed approach.
I’m a relentless problem solver with unquenchable curiosity who can't help but analyse and try to improve everything I see.
