About

I’m a product designer from Sydney, specialising in UI design and design systems. Since 2005, I’ve enjoyed working in startups, agencies, corporations, and government and have led projects to design products used by millions of people. 
I enjoy the challenge of solving complex customer problems by crafting intuitive, accessible, and beautiful websites and apps. I’ve been fortunate to have my work featured in books, magazines, and websites around the world. I love design and have published my own book to help others learn the things I wish I knew when I first started my design career. adhamdannaway.com
