Hands-on support
Senior Product Designer with 8+ years experience and currently at Atlassian designing AI-native experiences for Jira. My path into product design has been unconventional. I started in industrial design and spent years as a touring musician before transitioning into UX Design via Academy Xi.
I have worked across startups, global agencies, and large companies, contributing to work for organisations such as Jetstar, Adobe, Myer, Latrobe Uni, Mitsubishi Motors, United Nations, Kmart Australia, and now Atlassian.
Along the way I have navigated career setbacks, including being placed on a performance plan, while also managing depression, becoming a new dad, and rebuilding momentum in my career.
I mentor designers who want practical, honest guidance on improving their portfolios, strengthening design skills, presentation and critiquing skills, and progressing to mid-senior roles in product teams.
Mentees who work with a mentor for 3+ months reach their goals 2x faster than those going it alone. Long-term mentorship means fewer false starts, more focused sessions, and support that builds week after week.
