    I am an award winning industrial designer with 12 years of industry experience.

    My design philosophy is simple… develop legitimate consumer & market based insights to then leverage relevant yet unique and distinctive design solutions.

    I then immerse myself in the entire development process, to ensure the design intent is maintained.

    I believe I am unique in the field on industrial design, as I have exceptional front-end design skills, i.e. insights development, concept ideation and aesthetic development coupled with a very strong understanding of mechanical engineering, production & manufacturing processes, materials, and immense experience working closely with Chinese manufactures.

    I feel I would be a great asset to any team looking for a well-rounded, forward thinking designer, who can handle any and all stages of a project

    • Senior Industrial Designer
      Breville
      Apr 2011 - Jan 2012 (9 months)

    • Principal Designer
      Click Clack Limited
      Mar 2010 - May 2011 (1 year 2 months)
      My role as principal designer was to ultimately use insights and design to navigate two major house wares brands into new territories.

      I have achieved this by utilizing consumer based research and insights, through which I then developed two unique and succinct brand-specific design languages.

      At this point I worked closely with product engineers, and production engineers, to take these new product ideas, and develop a range of unique high quality products.
    • Industrial Designer
      Sunbeam
      2006 - Apr 2010 (4 years 3 months)
      I initial started working for Sunbeam Australia as a junior industrial designer, working with lead designers, and learning the ins and outs of in-house product development.

      My project lineage quickly accelerated as I started to prove myself as a passionate, fast learning and forward thinking designer.

      Within 6 months of working within the design team, I was given key flagship products to style, develop and ultimately take through to production.

      The time I spent at Sunbeam was rich with experiences that have carved out the designer I am proud to be today.

      Be it travelling to china to inspect manufacturing and assembly, organizing and running “concept development” workshops, or presenting entire category design directions to the board of directors, Sunbeam was an amazing, and inspiring
      experience.
