2000 – Present
About
👋
I hope you're well
Here's a little bit about me. I've spent over 26 years in design, starting in 2000 as a junior web designer at a digital agency. My fine art background shaped my focus on aesthetics, and I spent 15 years in visual design and branding for clients including Jack Daniel's, Macquarie Bank and Rebel Sport. A passion for helping others grow led me into people leadership roles, mentoring design teams and becoming a globally recognised mentor.
Wanting to make a bigger impact than designs that simply "looked good" led me to UX. Since 2017, I've worked with product and engineering teams to ship products across fintech, retail, transport and complex data, and I'm now focused on helping teams integrate AI-driven workflows to bring their product vision to life.
When I'm not designing, I'm a Pump instructor, reading a psychology book or looking for the next concert to go to!
Mentor 🌎
I've mentored 100s of designers with ADPLIST, IxDA, Project F and Women in Nuix, led a mentor program at CMC and continue to help designers progress to leadership roles.
Speaker 🎤
I became a speaker to conquer my shyness and fear of public speaking. I'm now an active speaker, presented at global conferences, appeared on podcasts, design panels and moderated for panels.
Fitness Instructor 🏋️♀️
To further develop my confidence and speaking, I became a pump instructor. Every week, I team 100s of women the confidence to lift heavy weights, build physical and mental strength.
Mum 💜
I'm a proud mum of two adult kids, (23 and 18 years). I empower them to be confident, resilient and kind humans, give ack to the community and the power of human connection.
