About Me.
I'm a proud generalist, using my broad background in engineering and front-end web development to help me solve tricky problems with design that scales. I help teams avoid over-engineering with simple, best-practice solutions that work for your business and for your developers.
So far, I've had the privilege of working in a global engineering consultancy, a start-up, a state government department, and an in-house University software development service. These days, my main focus is designing highly technical user experiences at Transmax.
Say Hello.
If you're interested in what you see, I'd love to hear from you! I'm always keen to chat about design.
