I am a Senior UX Designer and Researcher with the Ontario Public Service developing the Ontario Design System and other modernization projects for the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement.
I have over a decade of experience working with clients to bring their ideas to life and love to learn from those around me. I approach every design with curiosity about the project and the people it serves.
Inspired by the incredible creativity and innovation of the people I work with, I have helped corporations, agencies, charities and startups connect and engage with their users and customers through effective visual design solutions in everything from marketing for multi-million dollar charitable events, to children’s book design, to UX design for video analytics technology using machine vision and AI.
In my spare time, you’ll find me sketching and painting from life, making sounds slightly reminiscent of music, hauling around books, learning a new craft or baking sweet things.

I'm proud of my career journey and the experiences that led me to where I am today.
