I didn’t plan on becoming a UX designer, it sort of found me in between lines of code and those late-night problem-solving marathons as a software engineer. For over 2.5 years at Icon Water, I optimized Oracle-based systems and managed databases. While I enjoyed the technical puzzles, what truly lit a spark was watching how people interacted with the systems I built. Those “aha” moments when simplifying something complex made a user’s life easier are what drew me to design.

​

My official dive into design started during my time at UNSW, where I worked on a year-long thesis designing a mental health module for a mobile app. Collaborating with stakeholders and translating user needs into meaningful designs opened my eyes to the power of empathy in creating impactful solutions. It was like learning to see the world from the user's point of view, and I loved it.

​

To take this further, I recently completed Google’s UX Design certification, where I explored the intricacies of user research, prototype testing, and crafting experiences that don’t just function but truly connect with people. Now, I see every interaction as an opportunity to create delight, one thoughtful design decision at a time.

​

Today, I’m combining my technical foundation with my growing design skills to build intuitive, engaging, and even a little fun experiences. Whether I’m mapping out a user journey, sketching wireframes, or obsessing over the tiniest detail in a prototype, my goal is simple: to create products that feel as natural and satisfying as flipping to the last page of a really great book.

​

So, here I am, ready to roll up my sleeves and tackle new challenges. Let’s create something impactful that leaves users feeling confident and cared for.
