About

I’m a digital product designer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I started my design career in the world of marketing, where I developed my passion for creating well-designed, user-friendly websites. After 8 years, I made the jump to product design in 2016, which allowed me to expand my skillset in the UX space. Being able to talk to real users and design solutions based on their needs reinforced my appreciation for the value that design can add.

Some things about me:
🧩 I love to be challenged, whether that be trying to find user-friendly solutions to complex design problems, traveling to countries where English is not always the first language, wrapping my head around a new board game or hiking to the top of a mountain.
‍
💭 I’m curious, about people and places, and that drives me to try to understand why humans interact with the world around them in the way that they do.

✨ I love trying new things, from learning a new language, to trying new foods or hobbies.
