Product Design Lead with two decades of agency and in-house product design experience.
My current role
I am leading a team of product designers for carsales, Australia's number one online destination for buying and selling cars. Together, we create products and services for Australian car dealers on the AutoGate platform, and consumers on the many vehicle listing websites of the carsales network.
In this role, I am on the tools, but mainly involved in product strategy and guidance, as well as in planning and estimation of work, quality control of all work produced, and career development for the designers.
