UX Designer at The University of Newcastle

As a humanitarian and ethics-driven creative, I am guided by a North Star of identifying empathy gaps and addressing them through sustainable design—whether at a sectoral, cultural, or interpersonal level.

I work on projects that are meaningful & do good for society.

Currently, I’m working on an eCRM and the service application at The University of Newcastle.

Previously, I was designing advanced learning management systems at Kip McGrath, applying best practices for admission forms at UAC and simplifying management & assessment flows for machinery at Plant Assessor.
