I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a passion for creating functional and thoughtful solutions across industrial, textile, and graphic design. My background spans from hands-on product development and material exploration to customer-facing roles in hospitality and retail, allowing me to blend creativity with real-world experience.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from the University of New South Wales, a Certificate III in Applied Fashion Design and Technology from TAFE NSW, and a Certificate in Digital Graphic Design from RMIT. These have all shaped my approach to problem-solving and design.
My expertise lies in ideation, sketching, drafting, and working with both physical and digital mediums, including CAD design and sewing. I enjoy the challenge of researching how past trends influence current design thinking, and I often draw inspiration from fashion, architecture, and environmental design history.
- Not everything should be created - oversaturation is gross
- Simplicity, Complexity can be beautiful, but clutter confuses
- Embrace iteration
- Don’t create too many steps
