Love this, really well told story.

Great to hear, always be validating assumptions.

Your name sounded familiar, shame we didn't cross paths. Next time, ditch marketing and join us in product! ;)

Nice work, awesome job with the visuals and interactions too.

How did you go about validating the concept and features you've built for it so far?

If you're ever looking for a role yourself, Tyro's product team will take you!

I didn't say I had? I still take on work with them from time to time,

Was fine. I joined before they had a format process though.

It's now a bit tougher and have several stages they vet applicants for.

Been a designer there for about a year or so. It's been decent, mostly tech start ups with some larger companies, had a relatively consistent stream of work coming from them. Feel free to ask anymore questions.

Done, will be interesting to see the results! (I guess I'm not too far out of uni, so it's interesting to see how recent grads are handling this)

Last page, side on of the car: really poor choice of text colour! Can't read it at all...

I'm using a lot of Avenir, Open Sans, Lato.

Helvetica Neue as well but at really thin weights it definitely affects readability.

G'day from another Aussie in Sydney!

1) Not necessarily, but it shows commitment to something and might teach you the theory of why, instead of just creating pretty stuff. I did go to uni, studied Industrial Design @ UTS.

2) Worked as an industrial designer in house, transitioned into a user experience role and here I am now a few years down the line.

3) Freelancing is great, but you'll learn so much more working with others more experienced than you (I certainly did, and still do!)

4) Definitely find a strong mentor (either where you work, or someone you aspire to be and can meet regularly to talk goals etc.)

5) I love it. It pays excellently, I create cool stuff and work with awesome people.

6) You could look into development too I guess?

Give me a shout if you wanna chat more.
