Current role: Speaker
Kia ora! I’m a UX Researcher of 12 years and an IA enthusiast with a love of building communities around UX. By day I specialize in UX Research, (previously the Head of Research at Optimal Workshop), and by night you can find me with a good book, playing video games, or wandering around forests admiring at the beauty that is Aotearoa New Zealand.
