About
Twenty-two years in the file.
I’ve spent twenty-two years designing products, most of it in Australian retail and marketplace: Coles, Woolworths, SEEK, Myer, Target, Catch, Telstra, Disney, MYOB and ANZ. I’ve built and run design teams up to forty-plus people, and I’ve never stopped working in the file myself. For the last two years I’ve been designing and building AI products end to end, from Figma through to deployed code.
