Welcome! I'm Britt ✦
I'm a researcher, designer, and educator based in Sydney, currently an Associate Lecturer in Interaction Design at the University of Sydney. I research and design human-centred experiences that support behaviour change, engagement, and learning.

A 3.5-year research-through-design project building the Creative Coding Challenges platform for design students at the University of Sydney. I led the thematic meta-analysis across 60+ student interviews, surfacing the tension between empowerment and anxiety in open-ended learning. Published in Frontiers in Computer Science, 2022.
Product Design · iOS App · Side Project
Staying consistent is hard alone. Loopin is an iOS app where you share a habit with someone you care about, check in daily, and see each other showing up. I led all the product thinking - from early problem framing through user flows, information architecture, and a full high-fidelity UI system.
Curriculum Design · Unit Coordination · University of Sydney
The capstone studio for graduating Interaction Design students was treating everyone the same. I redesigned it around five specialisation streams, each with its own expert tutors, tailored requirements, and an industry guest lecture. USS score went from 3.62 to 4.09 in one year.
Trained in qualitative and quantitative methods - from in-depth interviews, diary studies, and thematic analysis to usability testing and surveys. I surface insights that actually change how teams make decisions.
I design with empathy at the core. My academic background in interaction design means I bring genuine theoretical grounding to every wireframe, prototype, and design critique - not just intuition.
Years of teaching have sharpened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly, facilitate group discussions, and advocate for design decisions - skills that translate directly into great stakeholder communication.
