Hello, I’m Louis!
With over 23 years of experience in design, I blend mechanical expertise with graphic and web design, instructional design, user experience (UX) and product design.
My journey began as an overhaul fitter, repairing aircraft components for defence, which sparked my passion for innovation as a youngster.
I transitioned to instructional roles, where I merged e-learning with design, enhancing training development in Naval capabilities. My strong foundation in UX and design thinking allows me to create engaging digital content while optimizing systems through empathy and iterative prototyping.
As a former mentor at RMIT University, I celebrated the growth of design students, emphasising the importance of connection and community. I thrive in dynamic environments that value collaboration and continuous learning.
My passions include Spartan OCR races, architecture, and biophilic design. Let’s connect and explore how my expertise can elevate your team’s success.

02 personal facts
In 2019, I achieved a bronze medal in Kumite (karate) at the GKR Victorian State Championships, narrowly missing the finals by just one point.
Although challenging, this experience left me with cherished memories and a strong determination to continually improve and strive for greater success.
Additionally, I earned another bronze medal in Spartan, further showcasing my dedication and competitive spirit.
I am proud to be the first in my family to attain a postgraduate degree. Despite facing challenges, I was expelled from a private school in Year 8, I was not initially afforded many opportunities to succeed in life.
However, through perseverance and the development of strong self-awareness, I am on a path towards a brighter future. My journey is not only driven by my design skills but also by my commitment to personal growth and self-improvement.
I proudly served in the Armed Forces, where I had the honor of teaching technical trades to young ADF personnel.
My dedication and contributions were recognized with a commendation from former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett for my participation in the 50th anniversary of the Australian Reserve Forces.
As a veteran, I carry forward a deep sense of pride in my service and continue to uphold the values instilled in me during my military career.
