About
I’m a versatile and user-focused UX/UI Designer with 5+ years of experience crafting intuitive digital products for global eCommerce, retail, and hospitality brands. I’m skilled in user research, wireframing, prototyping, testing, and responsive design, with a strong command of front-end technologies and design systems. I’ve helped teams ship accessible, conversion-focused experiences in fast-paced agency settings across Canada, London, and Dubai.
I thrive when collaborating cross-functionally—merging business goals with user needs, leading projects from discovery to execution, and building scalable design systems. Based in Waterloo, Ontario, I hold a valid 3-year post-graduate work authorization for Canada and enjoy turning complex problems into clean, delightful user journeys.
