I’m a Sydney-based UX designer with a focus on complex websites and digital experiences.

At Digital Garden, I help shape work for government, not-for-profit and corporate organisations, leading projects from early discovery through to UX, UI and delivery.

My approach is grounded in research and driven by clarity. I run workshops, co-design sessions, information architecture, usability testing and wireframing, while also contributing to digital strategy and UI design. I enjoy making sense of complexity, especially in content heavy environments where there are lots of stakeholders, moving parts and competing needs.

The part I enjoy most is getting immersed in an organisation and understanding what makes it tick. That means working closely with clients, uncovering what matters, and shaping digital experiences that are more useful, more cohesive and more true to their purpose.

Outside of work, I’m usually behind a camera, cooking, browsing record stores or out walking in nature. I’m especially into film photography, good food and anything that gets me outdoors.
