Product Designer,
Architecture Graduate,

Hi, I’m Zac a Product and UX Designer from Auckland, New Zealand.


My journey started in architecture, where I earned a Master of Architecture (Honours) and spent several years at Context Architects as a digital specialist/architectural graduate tackling large-scale housing projects and building digital tools that made complex processes faster and clearer.


Along the way, I developed a housing delivery system that cut the design-to-consent phase from 17 months to just 6 weeks, developed a 1,000+ complex component architectural detail design system, and assisted in the development of a client portal to reduce ambiguity between architects and clients.


In 2025, I began teaching architecture at Auckland University of Technology, mentoring students in design thinking and digital workflows, and started collaborating with local businesses as a digital designer helping them elevate their online presence and visual communication.


I’m passionate about systems thinking, collaboration, and transforming complexity into simple, meaningful digital experiences.

Outside of Work

When I’m not working, you’ll find me.

• Painting and 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 in the gym to stay active.
• Traveling without a plan.
