Head of Product Design, ANZSydney, Australia
At Apple I designed for tvOS, the Apple TV app, iTunes 11 and iBooks. At ANZx I spent seven years building ANZ Plus. Now I lead product design at ANZ, with AI built into how we work.

(01) Selected work
Helped shape the interface, focus engine and motion language of tvOS, from launch through to the unified TV app. Touch-sensitive remote interactions, parallax cover art, channel-based navigation, and dozens of granted patents along the way.
Now Playing for the living room. Album artwork washes colour across the whole screen, paired with restrained type and a slim progress line, while the Siri Remote lets you control music by feel from across the room.
A ground-up redesign of the Mac's most-used app. Stripped away years of skeuomorphic chrome, unified the album grid, rethought Now Playing, and set a flatter, more restrained direction that rippled across Apple's apps.
Reading, library organisation and typography for iBooks on the Mac. A clean translation of a much-loved iOS app to macOS, where a sharp brief and a proven pattern let the work move fast.
ANZ's mobile-first reinvention of everyday banking. Two integrated accounts, round-ups, goals and a Coach that helps Australians build better money habits. Designed at ANZx from 2018; since October 2025 I've led product design at ANZ.
Helping Australians make better decisions with their money, first at Commonwealth Bank and now at ANZ. Small, deliberate interactions where everyday choices add up.
(02) Designing with AI
AI takes the first pass at interview notes and customer feedback, clustering what people said. Designers spend their time on what the patterns mean, and what to do about them.
From a sketch or a prompt to something customers can actually try, earlier in the process. We test ideas instead of debating them.
Variations generated with our own components and tokens, so exploring more ideas is cheap and every one stays on-brand. Then choosing, with a designer's eye.
Customer data protected, a person reviewing what ships, accessibility and plain language checked rather than assumed. It's a bank, after all.
And on my own projects
Every one of my side projects is designed and built hands-on with AI tools, from first prompt to production. Website Design Awards (opens in a new tab) runs on an automated editor that publishes every day; manvbot (opens in a new tab) maps how 427 jobs are changing as AI arrives; and this site was designed and built with AI tools too.
(03) Side projects
Every kind of job in the international list, all 427 of them, scored out of 100 for how much of the work stays with people as AI arrives. Built on the International Labour Organization's 2025 study, with the new roles AI is creating tracked on the other side of the ledger.
(opens in a new tab)An interactive orbital survey: 22 stops from Sol outward, planets moving in real orbital motion with scale compressed for the screen. Long-form scroll, synthesized surfaces, and a quiet nod to the Voyager era.
(opens in a new tab)An editorial travel guide to Manly: beaches, walks, food and ferries. Big type, cinematic imagery, a slow coastal pace.
(opens in a new tab)A small, focused tasks app. Soft gradients, generous whitespace, no clutter. Built for finishing, not collecting.
(opens in a new tab)An automated editor scans the web every day and publishes only the sites that excel in beauty, usability and accessibility.

Cupertino. From 2012 to 2016 I was a senior UI designer at Apple, on the new Apple TV and tvOS, the TV app, the Remote app, Single Sign-on, iBooks for the Mac, iTunes 11 and app icons for iOS 7. Work measured in millimetres of motion, frames of timing and careful typography. The patents added up along the way.
Before Apple, I was part of the ANZ innovation team that designed and built the multi-award-winning ANZ goMoney for Australia and New Zealand: the first native iOS banking app in Australia, with a 4-digit PIN and mobile-to-mobile payments.
Back home, I joined Commonwealth Bank as a senior product designer in 2017, then moved to ANZx in 2018 to help build ANZ Plus from the ground up. Since October 2025 I've been Head of Product Design at ANZ, designing experiences that help Australians make better decisions with their money, and bringing AI into how the team researches, prototypes and ships.
People first. Pixels close behind. Most of my job now is the humans: hiring designers, growing leaders, and creating the conditions where small teams do their best work. The pixels still matter, a lot, but they're the by-product of a team that cares.
But it's never really about the team, or the pixels. It's about the customer: the person on the other side of the screen trying to pay a bill, save for a house, or make sense of their money on a Tuesday night. That's the whole point, and it's why, 25 years in, I still love design.
