Cogent was a 70-person, deeply values-led, digital product design consultancy based in Melbourne, Australia. It helped founders and digital product teams turn early-stage ideas into thriving digital businesses. It’s one of the only companies in the world to practise a transparent salary model (everyone at Cogent knows what everyone else earns) and has remained in the top 10% of technology businesses worldwide for employee engagement. It was acquired in 2022 by Block Inc.

I have lived and worked my whole life on Gadigal (Sydney) and Wurundjeri (Melbourne) land, in Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past & present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I support the Uluru Statement of the Heart and I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Through my work, I aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
