I’m a design researcher with over eight years of experience across sectors including government, private, and product design.
I’m passionate about uncovering insights that help businesses better understand their customers. With a background in UX design, I bring deep expertise and a knack for turning research findings into actionable insights that inspire meaningful change.
About
My expertise extends to user research and detailed interface design, and I have had the privilege of applying these skills across various sectors, including government, private enterprises, and product design.
Moreover, I've embarked on a personal journey of rediscovery, reconnecting with my Ngāi Tahu and Ngāti Porou whakapapa as a way to embrace te ao Māori (the Māori world). This journey has further deepened my commitment to creating design solutions that resonate with the rich cultural diversity of Aotearoa.
