I grew up in rural NSW, where you kind of just figure things out as you go. When there aren’t many resources, you get used to being practical, creative, and solving problems in whatever way works. I didn’t realise it at the time, but that mindset is what led me to design.
Now I’m a researcher, designer, and educator and still drawn to big, messy, human problems. I’m curious about people and the complexities of behaviour and learning, and I use design to create meaningful, socially impactful outcomes.
Currently, I’m an Associate Lecturer in Interaction Design at the University of Sydney, where I get to combine all three of those things every day.
