User Experience Design
General Assembly 2015
I took the General Assemlby User Experience Design course to supplement my existing UX knowledge, skills and experience. I learnt a wider UX process, user research and testing methods, and how to apply the results to products.
Expanded already solid UX knowledge, full marks.
Continuous Learning
Self Taught 2005 - Present
Since 2005 my passion for web design and development has driven my learning. I have taught myself several coding languages covering many frameworks. I am always self-improving and staying up to date with the latest and greatest. I use a variety of online courses, sites, tutorials, books and blogs to keep my knowledge fresh, new and full.
Five languages, countless frameworks, thousands of hours of reading and learning time.
Certificate II in Design
TAFE Design School 2009
At TAFE we were taught the ins and outs of a variety of design software including Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. Although I was already proficient in PS/Illustrator, learning about the design process was invaluable.
48/50 for final mark. Design process & thinking.
Digital Art Scholarship
National Art School, Sydney 2010
My body of work in Visual Arts won me a scholarship to a digital art course, which was fantastic to use tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator for a purely artistic purpose instead of designing for the user.
48/50, Photography work exhibited in Art Gallery of NSW, won scholarship.
Higher School Certificate

At highschool I studied Design & Technology, Visual Arts, French, Spanish and English. I loved my languages, and am fluent in French with intermediate Spanish.
