About

My passion is to create products and services that people love and to teach others how to do the same. I'm a firm believer that world-class organisations differentiate themselves by the experiences they offer. The best way to improve those experiences is by engaging users from the outset and throughout to understand the root of complex problems and ensure outputs reflect user's needs. I've been fortunate enough to have worked on some of the biggest user experience projects in New Zealand. I've earned these opportunities by building strong relationships with people who trust me and my capability. My achievements are built on a high work ethic, honesty in self-reflection, and the genuine personal connections I've made.
