I'm an experienced design leader based in Auckland, New Zealand. I believe in empowering the people in my team to reach new heights in their careers, to build skills, and develop themselves. Communication, trust, team work are some of the keys to being successful. I still do some UX design work - as I love to solve problems. My passion is to create highly usable and intuitive applications, which allow users to interact with ease and speed. I produce aesthetic designs which compliment a user's busy lifestyle, focusing on their tasks and providing an optimal experience. My designs are simple but great for the user, focusing on interaction and visual design. My interest in UX design was fostered during my years as a developer and team lead. I have experience across a broad range of industries and in multi-lingual website and mobile phone development. These unique skills allow me to accurately communicate between developers and UX teams. Working as a front-end web developer for over 10 years, I was able to build my knowledge from the ground-up whilst interacting directly with clients. For the last 12 years I have been focused on mobile development and user experience, specializing in mobile banking. This has allowed me to develop my passion for UX.
