[About me]

Hi! My name is Amy, and I'm a UX/Product designer based in Sydney.

Before transitioning into design, I built a career in classical music and education. As a clarinetist, Iโ€™ve performed on stages such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Sydney Opera House, while also designing education programs and teaching students of all ages. The music world taught me discipline, creativity, and resilience โ€” but more importantly, it trained me to understand how people learn, where they struggle, and how to best support them.

Today, I bring that same human-centred approach into UX and product design, working on problems that are complex, emotionally charged, and deeply human. Iโ€™m motivated by designing systems that genuinely support people โ€” not just look polished.
