If you're building a product, design or research team and you want a partner who already understands your world, I'd love to talk.
About me
Depth over volume
I'm a former professional athlete with a grounding in organisational psychology.
This background shapes everything about how I recruit. I know what high performance looks like inside real teams, not just on paper.
For the past five years I've specialised exclusively in Product, Design and Research recruitment across Australia, from startups to enterprise.

Behind the Teams Podcast
I started this podcast because the best insights about high-performance Product, Design & Research teams come from people running those teams.
Every episode is a conversation with a leader across Australia. Their philosophy, how they build and what they look for when hiring.
