Hi, I'm a designer.
I know that can be a pretty broad descriptor, so let me explain.
I have worked in user experience (UX) design, research, production and customer service spaces as a writer, graphic designer, application designer and developer in Australia and Southeast Asia for over 25 years. I have broad experience across software development, education, commerce, industry, the NGO space, and federal and State governments in most capital cities around Australia
I work with design, technical, and business management teams to help them create and deploy their vision. I can be a one-person resource or be embedded into your existing design team.
My design goals are to:
• understand people and be empathetic to their lived experiences.
• be articulate and thrive in clarifying complexity in systems.
• enjoy working as a design conduit between businesses and their customers.

So, welcome, and please explore this professional and creative portfolio of my work over the last twenty years in the design profession - then, let's talk about our next journeys.
