Background

I’m a versatile designer with experience across visual art, digital, and graphic design. I led product design at Envato Studio, helping it surpass $10M in provider payouts, and drove engagement across Envato Market. I also shaped creative direction for successful marketing campaigns.

At Belong, I designed for the NBN team, supporting eco-friendly telco initiatives. Now at Fluent Cargo, a Melbourne-based logistics startup, I focus on enhancing user experiences. I'm passionate about Framer, design systems, and UX/UI design.
