Meet a different kind of Design
Most designers hand over aesthetic mockups. I do UX, Content, and front-end.
The organizations I've worked with have all enabled me to design and implement digital solutions for sectors including higher education, film & streaming, and nonprofits. These experiences have enabled me to explore the massive plethora of skills I continue to explore.
Currently, I work at Toronto-based agency Copywriting Creatives, where I design and implement IT solutions for healthcare and nonprofits.
My Work for the University of Toronto
Between 2023-2025, I was studying Information Sciences and UX Design at the University of Toronto. Having originally applied for a student marketing role at the ECE department (ECE at U of T), I presented my experience and asked to be trusted with the website. From Jun 2024 - Mar 2025, I did manage the WordPress environments for both their public website and intranet, making content updates.
But the bigger questions they had were: How might we enable the Department Website to recruit Prospective Students? and How might we integrate the Toronto Nanofabrication Centre into the ECE digital environment? and How could I help achieve this?
End-to-End Digital Production to Drive Student Recruitment for ECE at U of T
Students were not navigating to core informational pages, and the Homepage lacked form and function. I redesigned and rebuilt multiple core pages to address a missed recruitment opportunity by shifting to a student-focused hierarchy, giving them a functional and aesthetic facelift.
Outcomes
-
For the Business:
Transformed for student recruitment by directing high-intent traffic to key pages. -
For the User:
Reduced time-to-value through a clearer, student-focused content hierarchy.
Comments
“[Department Chair] signed off on the [new] design [for the Homepage]. She's a fan!”

Meet a different kind of Consulting
Most consultants hand over concepts. I give realistic solutions & practical implementations.
I direct discovery workshops, map user journeys, audit accessibility and web content, as well as scope, design, and execute digital strategy.
In 2021, I founded JKR Business Consultancy, building 10+ end-to-end client relationships across sectors including healthcare, fintech, e-learning, and industrial manufacturing.
Consulting for GenAI Adoption
In 2022, Fix It In Post Studios (FIIP Studios) asked me to support genAI adoption in their services. This involved a live pilot (2023), where I developed and implemented a genAI-assisted service. I've previously worked full-time for the studio (2020-21), where I solved project-specific technical gaps.
Digital Transformation: Building AI Into the Blueprint
Generative AI left most studios reacting to its disruption, and FIIP Studios chose to build services around generative AI tools. I designed an adoption framework, implementing it during a pilot project with a real client that transformed an experimental workflow into a billable service.
Outcomes
-
For the Business:
30–40% revenue growth from a newly billable GenAI-assisted workflow. -
For the Business:
~2 weeks cut from production timelines. -
For the Business:
Reduced client revision loops and eliminated AI anxiety across the team.
Comments
“I really hope we can use it [Adobe's newly introduced GenAI tool] efficiently and deliver [the PreViz to the Client].”
