A product designer in Melbourne who designs and builds from research and design through to production code. Drawn to the structure beneath an interface, and the person on the other side of the screen.

In brief
The short versionWho, and how I got here
SPECIMEN — K.W. Cyanotype · 2024 Pressed, Melbourne
I design with attention, then build what I create, so the care carries from design to code.
I came to product through visual craft: type, grid, the structure beneath surfaces, and a habit of looking closely. That training never really left. It is still how I read an interface, and how I keep the person on the other side of the screen in view.
Agency and independent practice taught me to ship under real constraint. I use research to decide what gets built, not only how it looks, and I work in both design and engineering so that care survives the handoff.

“I learned to design by learning to look, carefully, and twice. Everything else followed from that.”
