Melbourne's vibrant design scene always captivated me, but I never imagined my career path would lead me to product design. While it provided valuable experience, something felt missing – a lack of creative expression and tangible impact.

One fateful day, I stumbled upon a product design workshop. Intrigued by the intersection of user experience, visual appeal, and problem-solving, I dove headfirst into learning everything I could. The process of crafting intuitive interfaces and user-centered experiences ignited a passion I hadn't known existed.

The initial learning curve was steep, but my fascination with the field fueled my determination. I devoured online resources, enrolled in design courses, and honed my skills in UX/UI design principles. Learning powerful tools like Framer became a key component of my skillset, allowing me to translate ideas into interactive prototypes that helped stakeholders visualize the final product.

My portfolio became my canvas. I volunteered my design services for local non-profits, eager to gain real-world experience and refine my design approach. My dedication paid off as I started collaborating with startups in Melbourne. Witnessing how my design decisions not only enhanced user experience but also facilitated user engagement and brand recognition was incredibly rewarding.
