I go to (a lot of) meetups

Since I graduated from my UX design course in 2016, I've committed to regularly attend UX and product meetups, the annual UX Australia conference and other events to connect with the UX community, be inspired by a new idea or research method, and happily lend my design skills for social causes when I participate in hackathons or do pro bono work.

Sometimes I sketch

Before design, I loved sketching using a pencil. I started when I was 5 years old in Kindergarden, when my Catholic school teacher commissioned me to draw Mother Mary. At the time, the only resemblance was the veil.

​I kept drawing, got better and got shortlisted for Art Express in my year 12 HSC, and have since been commissioned to draw large scale charcoal drawings for local churches and events. In my very rare spare time, I'll do a sketch or 2. Here are a couple of my favourite sketches using ink, pencil and charcoal on paper.

I saw a fashion ad featuring a beautiful model wearing a Photoshopped dress strategically draped around her, made to look like the texture of lipstick. I thought those textures would be beautiful (and challenging) to draw, so I sketched it using a 2B pencil on an A3 sketch pad in a 2 hour session.
