WHAT FASCINATES

ME ABOUT DESIGN IS UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE

Born and bred in the South Island of New Zealand, I've always enjoyed making things and exploring the outdoors. Sparking a curiosity to travel, discover new cultures and collaborate with a diverse range of creative spaces around the world. 

​

For me, design is about stepping aside and creating experiences that are understandable, have purpose and challenge what we find familiar. Using true insight to build empathy, craft personality and improve the world around us, for the people around us.
