    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    I’m a freelance UX/UI designer who specialises in web applications for the Australian sector.

    I entered the industry in 1996, just after turning 18, and was immediately drawn to design.

    I didn’t receive formal education in this field — I am completely self-taught.

    For most of my career, I worked for agencies until I was made redundant when Covid hit, thrusting me into the freelance game.

    This change not only allows me to choose my projects but has also doubled my income — I should have done this much sooner.
