Product Designer,
Architecture Graduate,

I’m Zac, a Product and UX Designer from Auckland, New Zealand. I hold a Master of Architecture (Honours) from the University of Auckland and worked between 2021 and 2024 as a Digital Specialist and Architectural Graduate at Context Architects focusing on large-scale projects, digital tools, optimising workflows, and design systems.


My experiences so far include working on a Client Portal that improved transparency between architects and clients, developing the “Housing Delivery System”, a process framework that reduced the design-to-consent phase of houses by 94% — from 17 months to 6 weeks, creating an architectural detail library of over 1,000 components, implementing a standard housing type design system to streamline project consistency and delivery, and in 2025, working as an educator at Auckland University of Technology teaching architecture, mentoring students and sharing practical design and process knowledge.


I bring a systems-thinking mindset, strong collaboration skills, and a passion for turning complex problems into simple, human-centred, meaningful solutions.

Outside of Work

When I’m not working, you’ll find me.

• Painting or exploring new software to stay creative.
• Unwinding with a game of Magic or a few rounds of Tekken.
• Out on a hike, walking the dog, or lifting weights to stay active.
• Traveling without a plan.
