UX Design for

ambitious teams

business impact

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi there

I'm Maddie, a Senior UX Designer with 10+ years experience and I don't think good design happens alone.

I do my best work in the messy middle, alongside teams, working out what's really going on and what to do about it.

Home is Hobart/nipaluna, and when I'm not at a Miro or Figma with my team, you'll find me in the surf.

I love people, and I get to be curious for a living. How cool is that? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

A little bit about myself

I'm inherently curious.

Curious about people.
Curious about problems.
Curious about the ocean.
Curious about film photography (36 shots, no previews, no regrets).

I'm outgoing, I love a good conversation, and I care deeply about the people I work with.

Great teams make great work.
