Ally has a background in digital project management, UX design, and content, and currently works at mental health and alcohol and other drug charity Lives Lived Well. She is passionate about creating digital experiences that are valuable, meaningful, and designed with empathy.

Most recently, her work has concentrated on working with users facing trauma or other distresses, and how design and copy can help – not hinder.

Based in Brisbane, she also teaches design and creative project management at the Queensland University of Technology, where she is an MPhil candidate.

Her proposed MPhil thesis explores digital interface design for people facing mental health and alcohol and other drug challenges.
