About me
Fuelled by my passion for learning, problem-solving, and social change, I am inspired by how design can be used to develop innovative solutions to real-world challenges. Though my interests are varied and diverse, nothing excites me more than discovering, creating, and communicating creative ideas. I am a confident and empathetic leader who loves empowering and inspiring others, and I take a conscientious, organised, and proactive approach to all of my work.
