Known for being both a creative powerhouse as well as a keen researcher, I takes pride in leading both internal and external cross-functional teams to unlock opportunities for products, services and experiences, leveraging skill sets from a diverse background that spans more than 10 years working on diverse range of projects.
After receiving a diploma in Graphic Design and BA in Industrial Design in 2009, I started building a portfolio working as a designer for different organisations before discovering my passion for research and landing at Queensland University of Technology, where I earned a PhD in Industrial Design. I spent the past 5 years focused on consumer experience research and product design and understanding of the “why” in addition to the “how” of design.
I currently work as a freelance product designer, facilitates design thinking and design Sprint workshops and teach UX Design, User Research, Usability testing, design thinking and Interaction Design units in School of Design and IT at Queensland University of Technology.
