Designing Purpose-Built Digital experiences Through Research
Open to UI/UX and Product Roles
This collection showcases projects designed to solve complex information challenges, from consultancy work for specialized clients with niche needs to UX architecture that had to work within the bigger picture.
Here, you can explore my UX work with a focus on sensemaking, including my production design work for the University of Toronto (ECE) and UX projects for healthcare, NPOs, and creative industries.
My work involving JKR Business Consultancy, which involved designing financial workflows and SaaS design systems, is covered by an NDA and can not be publicly displayed.

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.
