About me
I’d be pleased to hear about your aspirations and challenges.
I’m a UX designer and tech enthusiast. I trade as Bizbo, which lets me choose good clients and deliver meaningful, high-quality work without the complexity of a larger organisation.
I specialise in UX, consulting, development and automation. I’ve worked with companies of all sizes, locally and globally, including The Times, Woolworths, AA Insurance, marketing agencies and small startups, across e-commerce, media and financial services.
I run workshops using design thinking to help people turn ideas into reality: validating, streamlining and focusing a concept before it launches. I can take the whole process from Figma designs to live implementation. Where something is not my core strength, I bring in people I trust: brand storytellers, IT providers, graphic designers and videographers.
My ideal day involves co-designing with workshop participants, prototyping ideas, building engaging front ends and using AI tools with my preferred stack: Cursor, Claude Code, Next.js on Vercel and Tailwind.
