I started in lighting design for children's television — chasing softness, warmth, and the tiny moments that make a scene feel alive. Fifteen years later, I'm still chasing the same things, just in pixels.

Today I lead UX at Bendigo Bank and take on select freelance work in healthcare and SaaS. I care about evidence, craft, and quietly useful details.

03 · Life outside work

Life outside work.

When I'm not designing digital experiences, you'll find me in the kitchen creating sweet treats or celebrating special moments with my family. Baking is my creative outlet — it's all about precision, aesthetics, and bringing joy to people.
