I'm a UX researcher with 10 years’ experience developing consumer and business products. I most recently worked at Meta as part of the Reality Labs team, working on the Quest and Portal product lines. I previously completed my PhD as part of the Materialising Memories research team, where I investigated how designers can create physical and digital products that evoke emotional attachment with their users.
With a background in Industrial Design, I started my career in the retail marketing sector as a designer at point-of-sale design consultancy Pop This. During this time I worked with a range of global retail brands including Revlon, Unilever and Energizer.
As a side passion, I’ve lectured and taught at the University of Technology Sydney in courses related to emotional design, design research, user-centred design, interaction design and sustainability.
