I am a passionate and creative designer with a rich background in conceptualizing innovative product designs and collaborating with cross-functional teams. My focus is always on delivering strategic creative vision that yields positive results.

Throughout my career, I have had the incredible opportunity to work, live, and travel across the globe, immersing myself in diverse cultures and environments for inspiration. This has broadened my perspective and fueled my creativity, allowing me to bring a wide range of hands-on product design and leadership skills to the table. Whether it's designing a collection, setting strategic design vision, leading a team, testing hand-sewn prototypes, developing technical specification packs for external suppliers, or presenting compelling narratives to executive leadership, I consistently demonstrate my ability to meet desired outcomes creatively and financially.

Originally from Melbourne, Australia, I have also resided in Egypt, London, and Denmark, immersing myself in unique design experiences and absorbing the essence of each place. Currently, I am based in the vibrant city of Portland, Oregon.

My personal design ethos revolves around the belief that purpose is the driving force behind design, and the process is just as important as the end result. I strongly value the intention and meaning behind each creation, understanding that purposeful design has the power to make a lasting impact.
