About

Curious about people. Focused on clarity.

I’m an Auckland-based graduate UX/UI designer with a background in interaction design and experience across user research, interface design and prototyping.

My projects have explored financial services, e-commerce, transport and community platforms, giving me experience working with different users, constraints and information structures.

I enjoy the full design process — understanding a problem, mapping journeys, testing ideas and refining interfaces into clear, accessible experiences.
