Research with curiosity
I approach every problem space with an open mind, uncovering insights that meaningfully shape my design process.
Collaborate with Passion
I thrive in cross-functional environments, contributing my expertise and energy while knowing when to ask for and offer support.
Create with Purpose
I design with intention, always grounded in a clear understanding of who I’m designing for and why it matters.
What I Care About
I am a Canada-born product and experience designer motivated by uncovering gaps and misalignments between people, businesses, and society.
I bridge research, strategy, and design craft to create engaging physical–digital interactions, spanning AI-driven fintech, experiential strategy for Fortune 500 clients, and hands-on fabrication.
I specialize in designing for people, products, and businesses in transition, helping them navigate new technologies and bridging gaps in information, interaction, and value through a human-centric framework.
Nice to Meet You!
