Working with product, design, and development, to prepare Karbon for it's next phase of growth. By embedding brand, UX consistency, and quality design, into the tools and processes we use everyday.

Helping to make business beautiful for Xero customers by developing tools, techniques, and fostering relationships that enable product design at an international scale.

Leading the design process for Xero's Australian Payroll product. Working within a cross functional team to integrate new government compliance requirements in an intuitive and seamless way for customers.

The Australian Government Design System is a means of uniting government design and development teams.

The Australian Government has over 1000 inconsistent websites and a workforce distributed across more than 200 organisations. Providing a consistent brand and user experience for a service that disperse requires cooperation above what a centralized style guide or front-end framework can provide.

With such a diverse landscape to support, the Design System team began by comparing flagship products across the service and meeting with existing teams to understand typical design needs.

A set of core front-end functions and common design principles were produced, including a themeable and semantic colour-system, a grid-aligned typographic scale, and standardized spacing units. Resulting in a means for the community to create new standardized components that can be shared in a common format.

Voodoo Creative is one of one of Canberra’s leading full service marketing and digital design agencies.

In my role as creative director I was responsible for maintaining Voodoo's brand and digital presence. Working closely with the team to balance business needs, technical requirements, messaging, and elegant visuals, we produced a marking site which greatly increased the quality of our customer engagement.
