About

01 UX DESIGNER @ qwil

I'm at an edtech startup called qwil, aiming to digitise feedback for students & educators during Work-Integrated earning (WIL) units. My work consists primarily of validating assumptions about student learning & feedback, auditing and reorganising qwil’s user flow and designops, and end-to-end research & UI design for client demand designs features.

Currently I am implementing qwil’s first design system & design docs, with secondary tasks in PM, including visioning and aligning goals and deadlines to stakeholder constraints.

02 EARLY LIFE

When I was young and I used to be asked about what I wanted to be when I grew up, I used to say a princess! Or a doctor, or a rocket scientist.

Today, I know that what I really meant was a high impact role, having the power to influence change and learning. I want to apply myself to my work to produce a better outcome for the world, and that's where I found inspiration for a career in design.

03 EDUCATION

I began my educational and professional journey first with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in linguistics and psychology at Monash University, which led me to discover a love for understanding human behaviour, human interaction, and the nuances of anthropologic relationships and more.

04 MORE EDUCATION

I then studied a Graduate Diploma of Interaction and UX Design at UNSW in 2023, graduating with an 85 WAM. I loved the subjects, the field, and being able to apply my learnings to tangible projects I could create at my finger tips.

This played a vital role in my receiving the Dean's Faculty of ADA Award 2023 for Academic Excellence.

05 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Professionally I have worked in hospitality, social media marketing, business development, operations and more.

Most predeominately I have 5 years in event management, creating experiences that put people and their needs first. Much of my time is focused on creating things that invoke joy and tell a story. To the right is an interview with one of the charity partnerships we worked with that I organised as part of our social media goals to raise awareness of Ronald McDonald House Charities activities and boost event marketing.

06 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

My experiences allowed me to learn about understanding a customer's wants and needs, finding their pains and designing unique events to accommodate their needs.

Transferrably to UX, empathising with users, uncovering their challenges, and designing solutions are paramount. I have experience in conducting thorough user research and communicating with stakeholders.

07 FUN FACTS

Outside of work, here are 3 fun facts about me:

I've played, coached and umpired in many netball teams and communities for over 15 years!
My Spotify Wrapped last year contained 94% KPOP or JPOP songs, and I also do dance covers.
In my down time, I love to bake, sew, draw and play games on the Nintendo Switch (currently obsessed with Stardew Valley and Hades II).
