Designing Purpose-Built Digital experiences Through Research
Open to UI/UX and Product Roles
This collection showcases digital systems designed to solve complex information challenges, from high-impact consultancy to institutional UX architecture.
This site covers both UI/UX for Web and UX for Business Process Optimization. Explore my UX work with a focus on informational sensemaking and accessibility, including my web production work for the University of Toronto (ECE) and UX projects for creative industries.
Significant portions of my background, specifically my tenure at JKR Business Consultancy, involved designing private financial workflows and SaaS design systems.
UI/UX Design Projects
The following case studies demonstrate how I bridge the gap between human sensemaking and business results.

ECE Homepage Redesign: Rebuilding Information Flow for Recruitment
Fragmented information flow was hindering student recruitment and departmental engagement. I led the restructuring in Figma and personally handled the WordPress implementation.
Business Impact: Solved the recruitment drop-off by ensuring high-value traffic was routed to the Program and Research pages.
User Impact: Reduced the time-to-value for students by reorganizing content into an accessible architecture.
Service Design • AI Integration • Operational Strategy • Implemented Jul 2023
Fix It In Post Studios: Operationalizing Generative AI for Creative Pipelines
The studio needed to transition from ad-hoc AI experimentation to a billable service. I developed a service blueprint that integrated GenAI into the pre-visualization process.
Business Impact: Increased revenue by approx. 30–40% through repeat projects and increased organizational credibility.
User Impact: Reduced client anxiety, revision loops, and AI-fueled employee morale decreases.

Foundations
I hold two Master’s degrees: a Master of Information (UX) from the University of Toronto and an MSc in Electronic Media.
This academic background, combined with 7+ years of contract and freelance work, allows me to approach UI/UX as a science.
I design with a focus on how people process information and make decisions, not just on visual appeal.
