Recime

Crafting a web based Recipe discovery, organiser and menu planner app for a New York based startup.

I worked with Recime to design a conceptual prototype of the ReciMe homepage to explore how the application would be adapted for web and desktop users.

This helped establish the start of the overall direction for how the mobile app could be migrated to a web experience. It also included the foundation of a design system, suitable to bring the ui to the web.

Origin Zero

Product strategy and design for Australia's leading net zero energy retailer.

I worked with Origin Zero across multiple design sprints to redesign and test energy usage portals that help energy brokers and business customers monitor, analyze and manage their net zero energy assets.

I was responsible for pulling together the final prototype, leading workshops, and designing many of the search features.

Figma Plugin: Component Instance Looper

Figma plugin development to improve design workflows leveraging open source libraries like React.

I built a Figma plugin to help designers generate and populate component instances with text at scale.

The idea of this plugin came from attempting to quickly shift sticky notes from a Miro board to a Figma component. Suitable for quickly polishing workshop outputs or generating journey maps.

Raycast Extension: Pinch SVG

Building and contributing to open source through a pixel incrementing tool.

I built a tool to help designers create and copy pixel spacing increments using Raycast.

This helps designers build polished and consistent visual designs no matter what tool they use to craft.
