A Bit About Me
I have worked in Industry for over two years as an Industrial Designer after completing a Bachelor of Design Honours with a major in Industrial Design and a Minor in Interaction Design at QUT.
​
My role at ShapeLabs primarily focuses on developing physical products from concept through to manufacture/ market. I’ve had the opportunity to design and mock-up digital interfaces. Acting as lead designer on select projects and leading our social media development and strategy.
Why Did I Choose Industrial Design?
The core reason I chose to be an industrial designer was because I saw an opportunity to take my creative skills and apply them in a way that can make a difference. Designing products that can improve users' everyday lives even in the smallest way.
​
What is My Favourite Part of Design?
I have two answers for this, the first is user-centred design, and the second is being hands-on. I love primary research and designing products tailored to the user's needs. However, I also love being hands-on, making models and getting creative through product exploration and ideation.
