I enjoy forming and leading multi-disciplinary teams through the design process, ensuring everyone feels confident and included in the human-centred design process. I do this through tailored mentoring and project training on design skills, tools and facilitation.

I've shaped the design process at ANZ, the Red Cross and the City of Melbourne, where I developed and implemented a practice that focuses on driving social change, systems thinking and design futures. To do this involved overseeing the creation of novel design models and frameworks that I've tested in challenging business applications.

With a passion for systems thinking, I take a holistic approach to problem-solving and design. In my role with the Redx team, I applied systems thinking to identify investment priorities and critical requirements for the future of volunteering. By analysing the complex dynamics and interconnected components of the volunteering ecosystem, I gained valuable insights and proposed strategic recommendations to enhance the volunteer experience.

I love a good challenge, and I'm a problem solver at my very core. I've always had a kooky way of thinking, 
and I'm proud that it helps me develop great ideas. I believe everyone is creative and that it's a designer's role to create a playful environment that empowers people to think freely and solve problems.

A strong vision is vital for project success, and you need storytelling to share that vision. I was immersed in the storytelling process during my time as an Art Director, and as a result, I can unify a team's trajectory and empower people to share progress and solutions with other stakeholders.

I love leading and planning design research, selecting from various techniques to learn about what matters to people most. While at the City of Melbourne, I designed an inclusive research plan that looked at the people’s vision for this city. Not a small task.

I’m passionate about designing a plan and process that is inclusive of all minds, backgrounds and cultures. I prioritise accessibility in my design process and endeavour to integrate it at all levels, from UX design to company ideology. I’m always looking to grow my knowledge to better serve everchanging community needs.

I have over a decade of hands-on experience in design and digital technology. During this time, I have acquired the skills and knowledge base to test ideas and bring them to life. It’s essential to know the limits of technology, where you can push and pull, and what future advances are coming so you can plan strategically.

My multi-disciplinary design experience allows me to look at strategic design as an end-to-end process. Through bespoke ideation and concept development workshops, I can move a team from problem to prototype. Using various prototyping methods and tools, I can bring Ideas to life quickly, enabling rapid concept testing and refinement.
