I believe that design can change the world.
It achieves impactful solutions by encouraging innovation and fresh perspectives. By combining empathy with research and creativity, I hope to help solve the most complex, networked problems.
Beyond being a designer, I'm also...

I'm fuelled by my curiosity for...
Design ThinkingI love learning about new design thinking methodologies, particularly ones with unconventional applications (ask me about the Beautiful Trouble project!).
|
New ToolsI enjoy discovering new tools for creating, from digital prototyping applications like Sketch to more physical ones like 3D printing.
|
User ResearchI love interacting with users and think their input is vital to the success of any design. Making digital products with their needs specifically in mind, then collaborating with them throughout the process is fun.
|
Sustainability and BiodesignI am passionate about the environment and have been an executive of the Sydney Sustainable Ocean Alliance for three years (ask me for interesting facts about the rainbow mantis shrimp!). I am really interested in Biodesign and love learning how approaches like biomimicry can help both humans and the planet.

Art HistoryI do a double major in Design Computing and Art History. I understand a lot about visual appeal and its history and I know plenty of fun facts about Michelangelo and Keith Haring. I can research and write in a clear, engaging manner.
|
Design for Social ChangeI stand by my belief that design can change the world. I want to use my skills to give back to communities in need and make a real, positive impact. I believe design is a powerful tool for social change because it offers the potential not only to challenge problems, but actually solve them.
