What I’ve been responsible for

At Swapitt, I design and build the storefront and staff tools with AI. The work includes listing stock, customer offers and the records behind store operations.

At ubank, I led UX work on signup and later supported the design chapter as Lead Researcher. I helped designers plan studies, coached them individually and worked with product and engineering on what to test and how to judge the result.

At WooliesX, my projects included mobile-plan purchase journeys and account access across Woolworths and Rewards. At Fox Sports, I mapped and prototyped live streaming within existing sports apps. Earlier Vodafone work covered NBN service journeys and the Qantas campaign.

The case studies separate my contribution from the team’s work and distinguish prototype findings from results after launch.
