Designer with 2+ years of experience in digital products and solutions. Studying user experience and product strategy in the Interactive Arts & Technology program at Simon Fraser University.

Hello there! I'm a designer from beautiful Vancouver (or as we call it Raincouver). Coming from an architectural background, I believe that good design goes beyond aesthetics and functionality. It's about the experience - the impact we have on their lives, and the capability to improve on existing paradigms. Innovation in design comes from a deep understanding of people and being able to turn that empathy into real solutions.

I'm passionate about creating engaging digital experiences through research, product strategy, and strong visual design. I love to solve real world problems; problems that people encounter in their daily lives. I always start my process with detailed research and analysis in order to gather useful insights of the target users. I find it useful to determine the user touchpoints; current frictions they encounter and potential opportunities for a design solution. I enjoy the iterative process of sketching and wireframing: making the layout, setting the hierarchy, choosing type and colors and creating the user flow. I also test my ideas through physical & digital prototypes in order to refine the design to the user's needs.
