ABOUT ME

Thanks for stopping by

Hi there, I'm Alana Manning. I have extensive experience in digital design, having worked as a web designer within digital agencies in Sydney, Berlin and Melbourne, before moving into a senior UX/UI role at Blackmagic Design, where I spent 9 years designing software used by editors and colourists worldwide. That work earned multiple international design awards, including Red Dot, iF Design, and the German Design Award. I specialise in making complex ideas feel clear, intuitive, and easy to navigate.

More recently, I completed a Diploma of Visual Arts, deepening my interest in colour, composition, and painting. I share this because my work sits at the intersection of problem-solving and creativity, blending the strategic thinking with the joy of making something beautiful and pleasurable to use.

Every business, brand, and soloprenuer has different needs. My approach is always thoughtful and considered, with design solutions tailored specifically to you.
