• Glass jar hoarder + peanut butter addict

  • Like anyone else my age, I'm a self proclaimed foodie

  • I’m obsessed with plants and want to grow my own veggies

  • There were 25 pupils in my entire primary school - can’t get more rural than that!

Fun facts

Designer, storyteller, nature lover

I have a background in interior architecture and over 17 years of experience in the hospitality industry, including co-owning and managing a business. My path into digital design was a natural progression—blending my knowledge of spatial design, aesthetics and user experience with a passion for helping small businesses succeed. Having worked directly with customers for years, I know how important it is for digital products to feel trustworthy and aligned with business goals.


When I’m not immersed in designing wireframes or perfecting user flows, you’ll find me striking a yoga pose to balance out all those screen hours, or taking to the trails for a run. Nature’s the perfect backdrop for problem-solving, and fresh air is my secret to staying sharp and recharged.

Some thoughts

This is the ideal process to implement. But in reality, with change and deadlines, I don't believe that there is a rigid 'one size fits all' approach. When challenges arise, I am adaptable and adjust to each project.
