About Me

Discovering more beyond my craft

Since I discovered the world of UX/UI I have wanted to work in it! During high school I started playing around and experimenting with coding, graphic design tools and Adobe XD. Since those early days I have grown so much! (and of course uses Figma now!)

I am someone who sets big goals and pursues excellence. When I set my mind to something I can achieve it. 

In 2024, I decided to take a year off university to focus on my personal and professional development and this allowed me to achieve so much more than I could of ever imagined! Starting strong with a contract extension for my internship at Laing O'Rourke. After finishing high school, I set an ambitious goal of completing a full van conversion with the dream of traveling Australia, including working 240v electrical system and running water. Although it took a while, through my dedication and dreams I remained motivated and finally finished it just in time to start my travels in early June. At the same time, I still kept up my learning of design outside of university, my persistence and dedication to the craft of design allowed me to get my dream internship at Canva, an experience I hold close to my heart and an amazing contract with Ark Solutions as a UI designer which let me work on the road and help fund my travels.

My Values

  • Pursue excellence in all walks of life

  • Always set ambitious goals

  • Courage and commitment 

  • Be genuine 

My Highlights (During university)

  • Landing four internships whilst still studying

  • Helping organising and running USYD's biggest and most successful Designathon to date (SUEDE Designathon)

  • Writing my first blog -> https://medium.com/@suedesociety/setting-yourself-up-for-success-how-to-get-ahead-as-a-ux-student-4215b742fac5

  • Building my own luxury campervan and landing a remote job as a UX contractor to work while I travel.

  • Mentoring first year university students about design.

  • Seeing my final university project on display at USYD ADP's Grad Show! -> https://issuu.com/sydneyschool/docs/2025_design_graduate_catalogue

  • Received three graduate role offers

What else do I do?

I always try to keep busy, through learning or working on a big new project. However, I still need downtime and balance to help me become my best self. Often I turn to the beach for peace and relaxation, as I grew up near the beach, it is part of who I am. The sound of the crashing waves always gives me a sense of peace. 

When I need a break I like to; 

  • Wake up early to watch the sunrise

  • Enjoy the sun, sit at the beach and swim in the ocean

  • Go on small camping trips up or down the coast

  • Watch or play sports

  • Lift weights at the gym

  • Skiing down mountains or diving in the ocean

  • Go on short walks coastal walks or hikes in nature

  • Play some video games ( love RD2 <3 )

What's next?
I've completed my degree as of November 2025 and I am working in a new city, Brisbane, working as a Digital Graduate at the Australian Digital Health Agency. I smashed my previous goals, receiving three graduate role offers allowing me to move up to the Sunshine State! But now, I am still looking for opportunities maintan and build my skills - at the moment, I am working on 2 side projects, one as an individual project and another alongside some awesome people I've met in Brisbane. Hopefully, I'll have something to share soon!
