That thread led me into design. Back in school, I was already tinkering—making messy MySpace edits, learning Photoshop from my dad, figuring out CSS for fun, and building sites for friends. Much later I studied Interactive and Visual Design. Mid-degree I had the opportunity to join an early stage Uber where I helped Queensland drivers get onto the road with a first of its kind tool. I also had the chance to help build an early version of the airport kiosks where we solicited the first ever ride on Uber without a phone.

Now I'm a Principal Designer at Metalab. I work on UX, systems, and AI experiences, helping products grow from “what if” to “ready.” I stay close to the craft—prototyping, coding, and trying to make the work feel simple, not clever. Outside work, I take photos, drink too much coffee, and raise two incredible girls. They keep me grounded. And remind me why I like making things.

I've helped shape over a thousand products, crafted the parts that hold them together, and taught others how to do the same. It's quiet work, but it makes a lot of noise in the right places.
