About

I’m a digital product designer & brand designer. The majority of my time is spent designing at UntilNow, helping companies and startups to leverage their product & brand through design. I enjoy working in between the “lines” of branding, product, technology and marketing connecting them together. Previously, I’ve contributed and led design teams at Airtasker, Campaign Monitor, THE ICONIC, and a number of start-ups and agencies in Australia, Europe and Asia. I’m passionate about creating well functioning cross-skilled teams working together with trust, curiosity and fun to solve tough problems through design. Much of my focus is spent thinking through design systems, branding, sketching interfaces, getting my hands dirty or by mentoring others to achieve great results. Prior moving to Australia, I’ve spent a number of years in Europe working for a variety of clients such as Samsung, Saab, Warner Bros and Sony. During these years, I’ve held different positions where I worked alongside many crazy talented designers and directors. This is where I’ve developed the need for a multidisciplinary approach and a strong interest in using design to accomplish business outcomes.
