👋🏼 Hi I’m Mel, designer with 8+ years of experience crafting digital products. My creativity is fuelled by a deep curiosity of human behaviours, and a passion for using design to bridge the gap between people, systems, and technology.

I grew up in tropical Borneo before moving to Melbourne where I spent over 6 years as a visual designer in both agency and enterprise settings. I then had the privilege of living and working in New York City for the past 7 years, where the city’s incredible creative energy further ignited my design passion.

Throughout my career I've worked on a range of problem areas—including healthcare, public sector, finance, education and technology. With a focus on visual design and systems thinking, I have developed strong skills in research, prototyping, user testing and design systems. In addition to my craft, I care deeply about aligning the team through ways of working and ensuring everyone I collaborate with is able to grow in their practice and deliver value.

Having lived in different cities has allowed me to embrace so many different cultures and I carry that with me in my design exploration, travels, and the food you’ll see me shamelessly indulging in.
