The Craftsman Behind the Interfaces

A digital product designer based in Aotearoa, currently finding my rhythm in the local tech scene while quietly soaking in its landscapes.


My journey started early—sketching dinosaurs and mythological figures in school notebooks—long before I knew design could be a career. That curiosity grew through a love for games, visual storytelling, and systems, eventually shaping a career in product design.


Over the years, I’ve worked across startups and global organisations, designing at the intersection of visual craft, systems thinking, and product strategy. I bring a unique blend of visual storytelling, product strategy, and design thinking to the table, combining creative craft with pragmatic delivery. Loves to thrive in creative, collaborative, cross-functional teams that turn complex ideas into viable solutions.


Outside work, you’ll find me reading folklore, stopping for street cats, or losing board games to my toddler. ​
