I work at the intersection of design, education and research, exploring what it means to take design seriously in education.

I began my career as a professional designer, working both in Australia and internationally, before retraining as a teacher and working across schools, public programs and initial teacher education. My practice has since extended into research, combining experiential and interdisciplinary approaches to learning and teaching.

I’m currently completing a PhD at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), investigating how future teachers can develop the skills, confidence and motivation to apply design to achieve the curriculum’s future-focused goals, foster transferable skills, and support students to become flexible, creative thinkers.

CreateEd brings together my research, teaching and design practice, supporting thoughtful, collaborative work that reimagines learning and the ways people engage with design in education.
