I’m a recent University of Sydney graduate with a Bachelor of Interaction Design and Advanced Studies, majoring in Psychology. After completing an internship at Dime Agency, I’m now looking to begin my career as a product designer, creating thoughtful, human-centred digital experiences that solve real problems.

My journey into design wasn’t a straight line. I initially began university studying Data Science and Psychology, but quickly realised that the work felt disconnected from the human side of technology. Endless hours of graphs, statistical analysis, and spreadsheets left me wanting something more creative and collaborative.

I then transitioned into Computer Science, where I gained a deeper understanding of how technology was built. Despite this, I still felt that same disconnect from the human side of technology - focusing on systems rather than the people who use them.

Eventually, I discovered Interaction Design. It brought together everything I had been looking for: technology, creativity, psychology, and collaboration. Through design projects and team work, I found a discipline that allowed me to build technology in a way that genuinely considers human needs, behaviours, and experiences.

Design Values

Accessibility

Design should work for everyone. I believe in creating experiences that are inclusive and consider the diverse needs of users.

Simplicity

Good design removes unnecessary complexity. The best solutions often feel effortless because they focus only on what truly matters.

Elegance

Thoughtful details and well-crafted interactions can transform functional products into experiences people genuinely enjoy using.

Joy

Technology should feel good to use. Even small moments of delight can make everyday interactions more enjoyable.

Outside of Design

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me playing tennis, basketball, or badminton with friends. I also enjoy spending time with family, or fishing around Sydney Harbour while trying out new techniques I’ve discovered online.
