About me
I create digital experiences that balance functionality, beauty, and purpose — always grounded in advocating for the user. My journey into design began with a passion for media and evolved into a deep focus on interaction and product design. With a degree in Interaction Design from Sheridan College and over five years of professional experience, I bring a holistic approach that spans from research and strategy to create scalable design solutions.
I’m always happy to connect and chat. Feel free to find me on LinkedIn, check out my résumé, or shoot me an email.
My design philosophy
-
Each piece of work and design is part of a greater whole and contributes positively to systems at scale.
-
Design is a source of guidance across all channels, reinforced by intuitive guide posts and way finding to help users track their progress towards goals.
-
Digital products should be welcoming, inclusive, and accessible for all users.
My expertise
1 - End-to-End UX Process – From user research and design discovery to wireframing and prototyping and usability testing.
2 - Usability & Accessible Design – I advocate for accessible solutions and ensure digital products are usable by all.
3 - Stakeholder Collaboration – Bridging gaps between designers, developers, and business leaders.
A little more about me…
Outside of developing my craft I enjoy the outdoors and exploring the city, read on for some fun facts to get to know me a little better and some of my interests.
🥾 Hiking
When travelling to British Columbia in the summer of 2018, I fell in love with hiking and walking - haven't stopped since.
🖼 Art Galleries
I have a huge appreciation for fine art and love visiting art galleries in Toronto, Hamilton and the GTA and discovering new local artists in the city.
🎤 Favourite Artist
My favourite artist at the moment is Maggie Rogers, if you haven't heard of her- give her a listen you won’t regret it! If I'm listening to something it's most likely her album Heard It In A Past Life.
🐶 My Furbaby
I have a sweet and rascally Morkie named Kodiak, he is my pride and joy and super smart. He loves to make an appearance during video calls!
🎧 Music Taste
I like having an alternative, indy or Surf Rock radio running in the background while in deep work mode.
💻 Currently Watching
I'm currently binge-watching Below Deck Mediterranean. I’ve seen every season and spin off and have been delighted to work away anything made by Bravo and Peacock.
🍿 Eating Snacks
You can always catch me snacking and exploring new treats! My favourite at the moment is a Rolo Snax mix…so addictive.
🍛 Trying New Food Spots
I love hitting up all types of food spots with friends and family. Need Hamilton food spot recommendations - I’m your girl! My hidden gem is menya kyu a local small businness!
💐 Hobby floral design
I love creative with flowers—whether it’s arranging a simple bouquet for a friend or experimenting with centre piece design. It’s all about having fun and bringing a little extra beauty into everyday life.
