About
I'm an artist and designer interested in exploring how technology can help rather than harm, thinking through writing, and the power of observation expressed through traditional art media.
I have over 20 years of experience working on digital products, websites, apps and brands, and am currently a Lead UX Designer at Moodle HQ.
Art has been part of my life pretty much forever in one form or another, and my drawing skills and creative approach inform my UX design work through sketchnotes, little illustrations and workshops.
From 2026 I’ll have a little availability for interesting projects outside of my usual work and art. If you have something super exciting in mind, let’s chat!
Some cool things I’ve done:
- Run an in-person workshop with more than 40 participants at the Moodle Moot Australia 2025 conference. It’s been some time since I’ve done something like that IRL and it has a completely different vibe to completely remote workshops done digitally.
- Run another in-person workshop at the UX Camp Perth 2025 unconference, teaching participants how to “see like an artist”, observe more deeply, and draw portraits.
- Working with the other Experience Design Leads at Moodle, I designed a fair and creative recruitment process for new positions in our team. Can a job interview with design tasks be a great experience? Yes! I managed the hiring process and interviews for 3 UX design roles, all three fantastic additions to the team.
- Reskinned the user account management interface for MoodleCloud to fit with the current brand, improve accessibility and provide a seamless experience going from the website, to signup, to managing your account. I got myself knee-deep in Google Analytics, writing front-end code and trying to understand Git. I’ll probably stay in my lane more next time, but I’m as proud of having my code in production as I am of the vast improvement in how it looks (and sounds if you’re using a screen reader!)
- Reinvented our Experience Design team sharing/critique sessions for higher engagement, better quality feedback, and all-round good team culture vibes.
- Painted a huge mural on the wall of an ice-cream shop. It was a long time ago and it’s gone now, but I will hold onto that experience forever.
