A Bit About Me

I bring a curious and analytical mind to my work. Inspired by people who leave the world better than they found it, I care to work with brands that use their platforms for good.

I work and learn best by talking with people, and I want to craft solutions that genuinely help. Let’s chat to see how I can best support your vision.

User Research • Usability Testing • Design Thinking

As a wonderer of how things work, I pursued science in school and completed a MSc in Chemistry.

I moved beyond life in the lab to roles spanning data analysis in renewable energy to wellness in the federal government.

Over time, I gravitated toward UX Design: something that blends my curious nature, creativity, empathy, data, + collaboration.

I jumped in with both feet and graduated from Emily Carr University. Now I’m a freelance UX Designer.
