About

I'm a product design consultant based in Sydney, Australia. I work with technology companies to design clearer, more useful software — from the earliest stages of problem definition through to shipped and iterated products.

My background spans product strategy, interaction design, user research, and design systems. I'm most useful in situations where the problem itself is still being discovered — where the challenge isn't executing on a brief but figuring out what the brief should be.

I've worked with organisations across enterprise SaaS, fintech, health, and government — teams that are building for high-stakes, high-complexity contexts where good design genuinely matters.

What I do

  • Discovery and research — understanding the problem space before designing solutions. Interviews, contextual inquiry, synthesis, opportunity framing.
  • Product design — interaction design, information architecture, prototyping, and validation across the full product lifecycle.
  • Design systems — building and governing scalable design foundations that serve multiple teams and products.
  • Strategic design advisory — working with founders and product leaders to connect design decisions to business outcomes.

If you're working on something where good design could make a real difference, I'd like to hear about it.
