It all started with a passion for art and computers.

As a child, I loved my grandfather's creativity, turning each alphabet letter into a fun animal shape which influenced my major art project in my final year of school.

My love for computers began with video games, though they used to crash and freeze back then – not so fun! But hey, fixing them was strangely satisfying.

This combination of joy and pain taught me to persevere, a desire to understand systems, interfaces and eventually push me into coding and design.

After finishing an Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design in Visual Communications in the early 2000s, I set out on a journey working as a designer in print both in Sydney and abroad.

In 2009, with guidance from a developer friend, we co-founded FindaTeammate, a website linking local basketball players. The countless design iterations!! While I relied on my instincts and best practices, it provided a valuable lesson in understanding how websites are built, how they break, and the intricacies of SEO.

It was a learning curve, but it ultimately paved the way into digital design and coding.

Fast forward to the present

I am a Senior UX/UI designer working on the NSW Design System – helping teams deliver scalable and consistent user experiences to the people of NSW.

Beyond work and pixels

Outside of work, I love playing basketball, making pizzas from scratch and exploring the world with my wife and two kids. I'm also a passionate 'Toastie' at my local Toastmasters club, always looking to improve my communication skils where I've also taken on the role of Sergeant at Arms for the club.
