I am a UX | UI Designer with a university accredited diploma in UX design and professional certification in Visual | UI design complimented by 15+years of analogous and transferable research, problem solving, design, communication and professional experience as a chartered Chemical Engineer …and broad creative skillset.

I take an integrated approach to design, utilising UX |UI in a single seamless workflow.

I have attained excellent qualitative and quantitative research skills to derive useful insights (user goals, behaviours, pain points and mental models) that drive definition, design, validation, prototype, build and test of products.
