About Me
I’m a bit silly, but also hugely passionate about making a difference. I’ve been designing digital products for the past 5 years and love nothing more than seeing eyes light up when they open an app I’ve worked on.
Finding the sweet spot between Psychology and Graphic Design
In 2017 I graduated with a degree in Psychology, with no desire to become a Psychologist. I moved to Australia shortly after and decided to self-teach myself graphic design.
It was a slow, daunting process! I was au-pairing at the time in a new country, and spent my evenings thumbling through the Adobe Suite. Fast forward to 2019, I was applying for my first Graphic Design role, that’s when I saw a UX Designer role pop up. It changed everything for me, and now I live my best life, designing apps and websites for the most amazing businesses 🥺.
Why work with me
I value curiosity, honesty, impact & collaboration
These show up in everything I do, helping me design products loved by your users, in turn converting for your business.
A design partner
I hold myself to a high standard, and want the absolute best for you. I integrate into teams fast, so we can create the best products quickly.

People-first products
I won't design dark UX patterns, sacrifice accessibility, or trade short-term metrics for long-term user trust. This does wonders for your brand reputation 💚.

1% better everyday
There's always more to learn, it's what makes design exciting! If I'm not learning a new tool, I'd delving into new art styles, theory or improving soft skills.

My happy place is doing good
I want to go to sleep every night, knowing I made a micro-difference in the world. In work, but also outside of it.

I bloody love
trees
Some people adore cake, others puppies, my obsession is trees.
So far I’ve planted 15 tree’s through Eco Matcher. Over their lifetime, they'll absorb an estimated 3.8 tonnes of CO₂.

What I do in my spare time
Travel
I spent the best part of 7 years living out of a backpack! I like to slow travel, experience different cultures and find the nearest hiking trail. What's stood out all these years? Kindness is everywhere

Nerdy games
I can happily spend all evening playing Magic the Gathering, DND or a strategy game. I suck at pub quizzes, but will happily go for moral support

Something creative
Looking for me? I'm probably curled up drawing on my ipad or out at a paint and sip. I love improv, painting signs and anything artsy really
