I am passionate about collaborative, people-centred design, especially for Māori and Pasifika communities. I seek opportunities for growth and development while remaining adaptable and resilient. My integrity and commitment to human-centred design principles guide my work. I value building strong relationships and enabling others’ abilities to achieve exceptional outcomes together.
