About Me

A product designer focusing on interactive experiences & mobile apps with multi-sector experience in Telecom, Utilities and Financial Services across Australian, New Zealand and International clients. I was working in London in 2004 doing IT at a law firm feeling and despite thoroughly enjoying my life a certain hollowness was hovering in the peripheral. I kept some very interesting company in a very culturally colourful place and bit by bit it all eventually inspired a change in me. I wanted to create. So back to Sydney and within a week of landing I had somehow managed to wrangle a terrible portfolio of “design” to get into Billy Blue college of the arts. I got a bachelor but more importantly I and two (a third followed later) fellow students decided to start a company. We went to a pub, wrote down about a hundred words each, ripped them all up, put them into a hat and finally pulled one word out each.
