About me

Hi there!

I am an innovative, hard-working, story-telling, problem-solving UX designer with a passion for what I do everyday. I see projects through from sticky note phases to final designs, prototypes & User testing. I have experience in designing for both mobile (Android, iOS & Flutter) and desktop, whether you would like a cool app design or redesign and restructure your entire fleet management system. I have experience in the Agricultural, Fleet, Medical and Recruitment industries.

I am passionate about creating products that are fun, intuitive and ultimately leaves a positive impact on the users life, because life is hard enough so apps shouldn't be. I work with clients to map out exact product flows and user journeys to ensure the best possible outcome. I am a team player, but can work independently when necessary.

Ultimately, I am just a relaxed but hardworking, person that loves designing applications people would love.
