About Me
I am a seasoned UI, UX, Interaction, Service, and Product Designer with over 15 years of experience transforming complex challenges into intuitive, user-centered solutions. My dual academic background in Computer Science and Business Administration shapes the way I design—balancing technical feasibility, business strategy, and thoughtful user experience to create solutions that are both impactful and scalable.
With a strong foundation in front-end development, I design with implementation in mind. My work is visually compelling, technically practical, and seamlessly aligned with engineering workflows. I’ve collaborated on high-profile projects for organizations such as Bombardier, Airbus, Hydro One, and ServiceOntario—crafting intuitive interfaces, mapping end-to-end user journeys, and developing accessible systems that meet AODA and WCAG standards.
My approach is rooted in empathy, systems thinking, and collaboration. I’ve honed my skills in user research, service design, and high-fidelity prototyping in Figma, and I thrive in cross-functional settings—facilitating workshops, aligning stakeholders, and iterating quickly based on insights and feedback.
Design isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love. I stay curious, explore new ideas, and continuously evolve my craft. I blend technical depth, strategic thinking, and human-centered design to create meaningful, practical, and scalable experiences.
