Personal Profile
_JPG.jpg)
I am a product designer with a lateral approach to problem solving. A natural observer, I enjoy in depth research of subjects and users before diving into ideation and development collaboratively within diverse teams. My passion for design stems from a desire to think deeply and actively amalgamating technology with the softer humanities to create solutions that solve problems in the real world.
Consistently self-developing through challenging projects that I undertake at work, university and volunteering, my career ambitions lie in designing solutions in both digital and physical spaces with focus on research, innovation, usability, and experience.
