About

A psychologist's curiosity, a data scientist's rigour.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Data Science from Swinburne University, and I've spent years working directly with local small businesses across Melbourne. Living and working in Japan gave me a cross-cultural perspective that shapes how I communicate and design for different audiences.

Today I work within an interior design firm specialising in product procurement and operations and logistics management software — building the systems that keep a real business running. I bring that same hands-on, practical experience to every client: software and data work across websites, dashboards, automation, reporting, AI, and business process improvement.

My background in psychology means I think about the people using the software first. My training in data science means the recommendations are grounded in evidence, not guesswork.
