About Me

Hi! My name is Kirk, a full-stack product designer from Adelaide, Australia.

As a Full-stack product designer, I still find love in breaking apart structure, getting my hands dirty, and building highly engaging, fun user-centric experiences. Whether I’m taking a product from nothing to everything, or from something to [insert location of Elon’s Roadster] — I consistently find myself challenged and driven by my own curiosity.

My areas of deepest competency lay in Human-centered UX Design, Interface Design, Prototyping, & User Testing. I often find myself referencing product metrics, user feedback, behavioural psychology, and technical constraints when making design-based decisions.

I’m privileged to be in a career that not only enables my own curiosity but also offers immense levels of satisfaction when seeing a product team come together and deliver new features at the end of a sprint.
