I love distilling human frustrations and pain-points to create simple, but effective solutions for their needs - whilst sprinkling some enjoyment on top.

With three years of experience in UX, I have been helping our users, both internal and external, achieve their goals that little bit quicker - with a hint of fun here and there.

I am a big believer in doing hard things every single day, whether that's my daily cold shower, intense exercise, or after-hours studying. Some days I'll even stop myself getting a pastry (which is very challenging).

I'm extremely active and exercise 5-6 days a week - spicing it up with both resistance training, and running.

I find that these tenets cover a lot of the bases for me as a designer, and is indicative to who I am as a person: Empathetic, creative, humble, and I'd like to think… fun.
