Who I am
I am a web designer, problem-solver, and creative thinker. I have created numerous responsive, dynamic, and interactive websites that meet today's web standards. I take great care to ensure that they are user-friendly, modern, and reliable. In addition, I am well-versed in graphics, coding, video production, photography, and animation.
Efficiency and accessibility are at the forefront of everything I do. However, my absolute passion lies in creating professional and beautiful designs. When I am not pushing pixels or coding, you can find me at the gym.
Between Creative, Data and Technology
Studying Multimedia at Swinburne University has provided me with technical skills that complement my existing digital knowledge and experience. This has allowed me to work with many companies across a variety of projects for clients and businesses, including those in the insurance, production, hospitality, health, and construction industries.
My process has been honed over 9 years of experience. I am efficient and easygoing, aiming to build open and informal collaborations to achieve mutual ambitions.
My area of expertise centers around designing web and mobile products, conducting user research, and collaborating with design and development teams. While I enjoy designing and developing websites and applications, I find it equally important to engage with users to iterate and improve their experiences while meeting business goals.
My primary objective is to meet user needs and business goals. I am currently working as a Digital and Web Designer at LMIGroup.

- Creating wireframes, storyboards, user flows and site maps
- Front-end developing and maintaining websites and software applications
