I led the vision and design for a suite of style-based features that help people generate high-quality images and designs without advanced prompting. The flagship, Style Match, launched on stage in 2025 and grew to 10M+ monthly active users.
To help property professionals process leads and applications from the road instead of waiting to get back to a desk, I designed REA's first inspection tool from the ground up. By connecting open homes with the office, Ignite syncs their workflows to start moving people through the property journey from the moment they walk through the door.
I helped simplify rental applications for tenants and property managers on realestate.com.au, making it quicker and easier to both apply and process applications so tenants could move in faster.
Hey there, I'm Mel. I'm a designer based in Melbourne with over 10 years of experience across agencies and market-leading products. What I love most about my job is working with teams of empathetic people to solve complex and ambiguous problems, making things feel simple and intuitive for the people they impact most.
While I studied design at university, I originally found my way into this world through the joy of using code to bring my interactive ideas to life. Today, I use vibe coded prototypes to make ideas tangible as early as possible, testing concepts with real people to ensure the final product in the hands of our users is as well crafted as it is functional.
Outside of work, I'm usually spending time with my partner and dog, silversmithing in the garage, or alternating between reading and writing.
