About Me

I am a designer fuelled by creativity and innovation, with expertise in both physical and ​digital product development. I thrive in dynamic teams, using design thinking to generate ​strong product visions from concept to market release.

My recent venture into technology at a pioneering startup in the beauty industry, has ​broadened my perspective and given me an appetite for new challe​n​ges.

My interests are diverse and forward-thinking, ranging from the intricacies of desi​gn and innovation, to the impacts of sustainability and social responsibility. I am also fascina​ted by the incorporation of play theory to create working atmospheres which nurture ideat​ion. I believe a positive and playful environment generates engagement, inspiration, and cr​eative thought, where I can exercise my strong communication skills to spark synergy within ​t​eams.

I am dedicated to continuous improvement, and to making a difference. I e​mbrace challenges as opportunities for growth, and am motivated to join a company where​ I can further evolve and diversify my skills in the long​ ​t​erm.

Industrial Design + 3D ASSET GENERATION + MA​NAGEMENT

Atelier

Atelier is an ambitious startup based in Sydney which helps individuals and ​brands develop products in the beauty, health, and wellness sphere. The ​company had a lofty goal to develop their manufacturing platform, which aimed ​to digitally twin their product development process and supply chain. I was ​brought onboard to handle 3D assets, develop a pipeline to create, assemble, ​customise and visualise componentry on the web, and utilise data to enable ​customers to increase the speed of new product development.

Joining a startup saw me exposed to many different roles and technologies, ​which I enjoyed immensely. I was able to work across multiple teams and learn ​about new areas which would be beyond the scope of a traditional industrial ​design role including web graphics, graph databases, asset pipeline development ​and implementation. It was integral to understand other workflows to be able to ​design prototypes and implement product features.

My knowledge and expertise of materials and manufacturing was also relied upon ​to produce and deliver bespoke packaging and mouldings, working with ​manufacturers in China to deliver components aligned to production schedules. ​Alongside this, I was also able to diagnose faults in production runs, providing the ​team an understanding of the problems, and giving them confidence to resolve ​issues with the manufacturers an​d​ achieve positive resolutions.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

St​udio Henry Wilson

Joining Studio Henry Wilson as the first employee, I played a versatile role in ​supporting Henry's vision and business development. I was involved in all aspects ​of design, including prototyping, visualisation, tool design, and production ​management, all the way through to retail and wholesale distribution to ​prestigious design showrooms across the world.

Through close collaboration with foundry workers and manufacturers, I honed ​my skills in sand casting tool manufacturing, utilising additive manufacturing to ​bring this capability in-house. As the studio evolved, I also gained expertise in ​investment casting and stone carving. In tangible terms, my efforts here added ​49 products to the offering in market.

Additionally, I spearheaded the expansion of a domestic furniture system to meet ​the demand for commercial workstations. Responsibilities included CAD ​detailing, coordinating manufacturers, and overseeing installations for projects of ​various scales.

Notable moments included working with Henry to exhibit prototype works at ​Salone Del Mobile which we then incorporated into our offering, and partnering ​with Aesop to create their first homeware product, an investment cast brass oil ​burner. This collaboration between Studio Henry Wilson and Aesop marked my ​introduction to investment casting and large-scale production, with the object ​continuing to sell out in stores today.
