I am first generation in Australia.
Hand art to computers. Film to digital. Print to screens. Design studios to product teams. Product teams to a practice of my own.
I am first generation in Australia.
Two of us were picked from the whole school. I learnt how to plant trees, what salinity levels meant and how to name Australian plants. There were nature walks and classes as well.
An art scholarship. Four hours every Saturday, from year 6 to year 12, on oil painting, film photography, screen printing, watercolour, etching, ceramics and sculpture. In high school I did graphic design, film photography, art history and whatever other art electives I could.
Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design and Multimedia, double major in branding design and multimedia design. Student committee and exhibition organiser.
A friend's IT business. I helped build computers, install networks, and repair and upgrade machines. When clients asked for digital work, I built their websites.
Design and graphics for small to medium businesses around Perth.
Interface design for mining-sector induction and auditing systems.
Seven years, graphic designer to senior designer. Set up the Cannington digital printing hub and the franchisee online ordering system.
Captured weddings, portraits and streets of Perth, and studied for a Certificate IV in Photographic Imaging at Central Institute of Technology.
Newspaper graphic design, and a year photographing businesses for Google.
Almost nine years: design, then user experience, then Senior Experience Designer.
Two years of full-time care for a terminally ill family member. The most important work on this page.
Senior Product Designer. Designed version 3 of the product end to end in Figma, then delivered the version 4 front end with Claude Code. Nobody asked for a brand strategy; I wrote one anyway, and the company adopted it internally.
Left employment in March. Founded the practice, and started building small ventures of my own.
I live here with my partner Sasha and our Border Collie, Florence. We walk every day, and the furniture has been rearranged for the sixth time.
Chapters on travel, martial arts and photography are still to come. They will land here once I have told them properly.
