Sydney based UI Designer.

I'm an easy-going person and love the challenge of taking complex problems and solving them with design.
I work on everything from design systems, design patterns, style guides, userflows, high fidelity mockups, prototyping, business logic and general graphic design when needed.

I also know HTML & CSS. While I'm not a front end developer by any means I will happily give anything a go and (sometimes) muddle my way through.

I believe simple design is best, and function is just as important as form.
