Based in Australia
Design leader with 14+ years of experience and former uni lecturer. My professional journey has taken me to cities like London, SF, Silicon Valley, Singapore, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Adelaide, and Buenos Aires, where I have both worked and studied. What excites me most about the intersection of design and education is the reflection-in-practice that empowers individuals to play to their strengths.
