About me

✏️

Away from the keyboard, I’m an artist at heart, curious, creative, and always making something.

Hello! I'm a product designer based in Ottawa with 7+ years of experience turning ideas into intuitive, beautiful digital experiences. I’m driven by curiosity, powered by coffee, and obsessed with solving real problems through thoughtful design. Away from the keyboard I write and illustrate children's books, science fiction and horror short stories and epic fantasies. 

Whether it’s simplifying the complex or adding a spark of delight to the everyday, I love collaborating with teams to create UX and UI that actually mean something — to users, and to your business.

Got an idea? Let’s make it real, and make it count.

My design process

My design process is flexible, collaborative, and grounded in purpose.


I begin by aligning with research designers and stakeholders to uncover the right problems—then use tools like Figma, Miro, and FigJam to explore, iterate, and bring solutions to life.
