About

Let's create something meaningful together.

I’ve always been drawn to creativity — not just making things look good, but using design thinking to change how things work. What started as drawing cartoons and murals as a kid grew into curiosity about systems, behaviour, and how design can genuinely improve everyday life.

For the past 6+ years, I’ve worked across complex sectors including healthcare, education, travel, and large service organisations, designing end to end. I lead the whole design journey from early discovery and problem framing through to UX/ UI design, testing, and launch.

Outside of work, I run Mum’s Lasagna 🌴 (IG: @mumslasagna), a commissary kitchen business in Manila, and a small stationery shop on Etsy. I also love life drawing, baking, travelling, hiking, dancing, and finding the next great foodie spot. You can also find me yapping about random life moments with my husband on Spotify podcast.

That’s further than flying Adelaide to Bali… twice. Because apparently, when we road trip, we really commit.

Proof that creative energy and movement must go beyond digital screens. *And no, I can't guarantee I can actually dance like Beyoncé.
