Based in Sydney, Australia.
Introducing Tiny Talking Todos. Following on the lessons and feedback from Omnivore, Talkies is a web-based voice assistant I've designed and built. In this case study I unpack my motivations, the various versions of the app and learnings from the project 3 months in.
My first open source app, Omnivore is my exploration of what an AI powered app can be. Set in the kitchen, Omnivore is a helpful meal planner, with omnimodal features and smart context for helping you prepare your meals. It's easy to get up and running, and built with self-reflexive features, for any designers wanting to experiment with AI functionality.
This case study talks through the design of the app, the functionality enabled by OpenAI's platform and what I have planned for it next, after open sourcing the app.
With apologies to Geoff McFetridge, I take you on an illustrated journey of what it's like to be onboarded to a strange new a design system. How ultimately, I felt shared ownership and made some friends along the way.
I presented this talk to Design System Meetup in Sydney.
Working remotely with a team of educators I designed and developed an educational web platform for teachers and students, used in classrooms across Australia.
My case study details the challenges using technology in the classroom and how I was able to balance design and development in this hybrid role.
Working with a talented team at CHOICE, I helped develop and design a minimum viable product to evaluate a market opportunity.
In my case study I reflect on our user research, collaboration with product experts, rapid prototyping with Framer.js and our successful MVP.
Iām seasoned UX designer with 10+ years of experience. I'm also a design educator.
While having a deep UX specialisation, you'll find I'm a highly collaborative team mate and always happy to blend into other disciplines to get the best UX outcome. This approach has given me adjacent skill sets in UI programming and data analysis which allows my UX role to have high impact as an expert prototyper.
Oma was a meal planner app I designed and developed with my mate as hobby to expand my web development skills.
In my case study I reflect on some fun features I implemented and why dog fooding is so important in product development.
Wriveted finds books that match a childās interests, increasing their desire to read and improving literacy. As a developer, I helped support the Wriveted team build their 1st MVP.
My case study reflects on the opportunity for low code prototypes to enable a lean approach and playing with hardware to deliver a memorable user experience.
I have a background in print design, it's where I first fell in love with product design. I still scratch that itch by making zines from time to time. One of my latest series of zine were constituted of 3 booklets that contained my small observations about Life, Love and Death. A tiny run of 200, printed by me on 100% Cotton paper with a Heidelberg Platen Letterpress Printer.
I respect and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and future. I acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on this land and commit to building a brighter future together.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal Land.
