I’m Biunca,
a product design leader who believes
in staying curious, paying it forward,
and creating with purpose.

About

Over the past 13 years, I’ve built brands and scalable design solutions across fintech, fashion, and e-commerce in Australian and European markets. Starting with THE ICONIC, I was part of the founding team that launched one of Australia’s largest online fashion retailers. At OptioPay, I shaped an innovative payout platform that added value for businesses and customers alike. Later, at H&M, I led product design for a sustainable fashion marketplace, merging commerce and responsibility. Most recently, I’ve been leading the Product Design team at Moonfare, the premier digital platform for private equity investing, democratising access to elite investment strategies, with over €3 billion in assets under management.

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, I grew up with a deep appreciation for creativity and hard work, influenced by my father’s career as a creative/art director. A one-way ticket to Berlin at 24 turned into a decade-long journey of growth, collaboration, and cultural immersion that shaped my design philosophy and my never-ending pursuit of learning.

Beyond work, I’m dedicated to paying it forward—through mentoring, sharing knowledge, and exploring creative outlets like writing on Medium and producing my podcast, ChatGPT & Me: A Love Story, on Spotify. These projects reflect my passion for navigating personal growth, technology, and creativity while empowering others to thrive.
