I'm a designer from Toronto with a focus on solving complex problems with intuitive solutions. I'm at my best when I'm utilizing my full skill set to tackle design problems, including research, rapid-prototyping, interaction and visual design.

I began my career in product design while working as a Sales Associate at a made-to-measure tailoring company. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, our company was forced to move online for the first time in order to serve our customers remotely- and I was given the opportunity to lead this transition. I discovered my passion for UX/UI on this project while getting hands on experience with user research, competitor analysis, visual design, and collaborating with artists/ developers. This experience eventually led me to hone my skills at Brainstation and pursue this field as my primary career.

How working in the film industry made me a better designer

Before I started my career in product design, I worked as a costume designer in the Canadian film industry. This experience involved working collaboratively with large teams in multiple departments, each with their own needs and challenges. I regularly incorporated feedback from these departments into my costume designs- balancing the creative interests of the actors and director with the financial constraints of the production, or the colour palettes set by the art or camera departments. The skills I developed during my time in the film industry have been highly valuable in my work as a product designer.
