I lead design and dev at Jobs and Skills Australia — the agency's public digital products, like the Jobs and Skills Atlas. Tools that help Australians make sense of work, skills and the labour market.

I came to design sideways — mechanical engineering, then data, then design. That mix helps me connect what we're building to why it matters, and take ideas from concept through to working product.

What drives me is seeing good, accessible design make its way into the public service. It has a real impact on people's lives, and I'm grateful to do that work every day.
