About me
Bringing structure and clarity to complex products
Designing clarity from complexity.
Principal Product Designer, 17+ years in enterprise and product design.
I’m a Principal Product Designer with 17+ years of experience helping organisations turn complex products into clear, intuitive experiences. I work best in environments where there’s a lot to untangle—whether that’s modernising legacy systems, shaping end-to-end journeys, or bringing structure to fast-moving teams.
I’ve worked across insurance, healthcare, and startups, partnering closely with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to deliver practical, scalable design solutions. From leading design systems to running research and translating strategy into execution, I’m comfortable operating at both the big-picture and hands-on level.
Accessibility and human-centred design are a big part of how I work. I focus on creating products that don’t just meet requirements, but actually make sense to the people using them.
Outside of work, I keep my creative side active through a cake decorating project—where attention to detail really matters—and as a member of the Blacktown Garden Club, which gives me a chance to slow down and build things in a completely different way.
If you’re looking for someone who can bring clarity to complexity, collaborate across teams, and deliver thoughtful, high-quality design, I’d love to connect.
People first. Always.
Backed by deep expertise, I design experiences that simplify complexity and make every interaction feel clear, intuitive, and purposeful. Meet the person behind the work.

ketch-Up UX presentation
I successfully presented my user experience solution to the client for the ketch-Up homepage and Meetups landing pages in mobile view, walking through the research insights, design rationale, and key interaction improvements. The project showcased a clearer user journey, stronger visual hierarchy, and more intuitive pathways for discovering events and engaging with the community.
You can explore the full presentation slides along with the final Figma prototype.

My breast cancer – Recovery and remission
Celebrating the end of a year-long journey through breast cancer treatment — a milestone that marks the completion of two surgeries, six months of chemotherapy, and three weeks of radiation. It was a moment filled with relief, gratitude, and a quiet pride in everything I had faced and overcome.

Product design career break
With the onset of breast cancer treatment, I stepped back from my Product Design career and took on a role as an Early Childhood Educator at Nido Early School in Seven Hills, where many of my design skills naturally carried over. My focus during this time was to prioritise my health, complete my treatments, and prepare to return to design full time once I had fully recovered.
