Bio
I am a Melbourne based interaction and product designer – passionate about the intersection between traditional forms of production and emergent
technologies.
Over seven years experience working within strategy, UX design, product innovation and manufacturing.
During this period I have had the opportunity to contribute to the
fast-paced, highly collaborative environments of small start-ups; within
larger, more established design firms and as a self-managing freelance
consultant. With a focus on human centred design – I see my practice as
a means of examining and testing our material and digital surroundings to
look at the hidden forces that guide our decisions and ritual actions.
