Architecture
About
I began my design journey in architecture, inspired by my father who built homes for his clients. Growing up, I was fascinated by how a physical space could be transformed into somewhere people truly feel at home.
I pursued this through a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Architecture at the University of South Australia, working with Metro Homes, GHD Design, and Startari Architects across commercial, residential, defence, and automotive projects.
Each project reinforced a core truth: design is fundamentally about people. Balancing what clients need, what users experience, and what the broader context demands. After three years in architecture, I found myself drawn to digital product design, where that same human-centred thinking shapes how millions of people interact with the world.
Architecture and product design share a core philosophy: understand the person, design the experience, sweat the details. I bring that cross-disciplinary perspective to every project I work on.
