Career change.
Life change.

I've helped 2000+ people worldwide, shift to a tech, product and design career. 

I've done this before.

However, I'm always improving.

 

While teaching Design Thinking & UX, I have witnessed first-hand, amazing transformations & emotional personal journeys.

Where some of my UX Design students have worked:

  • MYOB

  • XERO

  • H&M

  • Symplicit

  • Accenture

  • Oakton

  • NBN Australia

  • ANZ

  • PWC

  • Telstra

  • Verizon

  • Salesforce

  • Deloitte Digital

  • Adobe

  • Disney/Pixar

And, I've helped many others realise the power of UX Design.

Whether through friendship, networks or a casual conversation, I've 

guided others across the UX landscape, mainly:

  • People interested in becoming a UX Designer

  • Agencies interested in introducing UX to their clients

  • Organisations interested in implementing UX

  • Existing designers wanting to refresh and/or grow

I'm UX Certified.

Yes, certified.

In 2017, I decided to attend the Nielsen Norman Group training conference in Sydney. I was surrounded by already qualified UX Designers & Managers, interested in extending our knowledge and building new relationships. 

​

There are only a handful of UX certification programs around the world. I decided on Nielsen Norman because it is the most reputable & I plan on continuing my own UX education.

DESIGNLAB

I teach Design to Schools & Kids (friends too).

Through my alias, I teach Design to school students both in-class and also in weekend workshops.

 

Students (ages 8-18) study UX and Design Thinking via collaborative, project-based & engaging exercises, looking at how to tackle real-world problems.

​

As much as we can, we allow students to drive their own learning experience.

2000+ Students / Various Design Subjects

Background + Experience

I started my career in the '90s and have worked for a variety of design agencies, startups and clients mostly in Australia as well as in the US and Canada.

​

I've lead design teams and headed up a design practice within an award-winning agency.

I now work in design education, teaching future designers both young and not-so-young. 

I'm available worldwide.

I'm always willing to have a conversation with people around the world about how we can work together to deliver the benefits of UX to others.
