I have over 10 years’ experience as a Digital Designer. Throughout my career I have been a UI
designer, Senior Digital Designer and Digital Design Manager. I have worked in Brussels,
Melbourne, London and now permanently in Sydney.
I have worked both client-side and agency-side. In my client-side roles, I have worked for many
years in E-commerce with a strong focus on user experience. I am now working agency-side, in
a permanent role in a prestigious agency focussing on the high-end property market.
My experience has created a passion for designing effective, efficient and enjoyable user
interface and user experience.
In order to consolidate my practical, ‘on-the-job’ experience, I have recently completed an
extensive user experience training at General Assembly (GA).
I am very excited to use the full range of my skills in a challenging design and user experience
role.
I currently hold permanent Australian residency and will achieve Australian citizenship within a
year.
