Started with Art, ended with Design

I grew up passionate about Fine Art, then discovered User Experience and Service Design at OCAD - which led me to a Master’s in UX to sharpen those skills.

In my first internship, I designed STEAM activities for kids: building robots from recycled materials and running a rocket experiment. It’s where I first saw how design, paired with other disciplines, could turn a real problem into something people actually enjoy engaging with.

Design can be impactful and FUN!

Whether it’s making a task less challenging for someone with a disability or just creating something that puts a smile on someone’s face, that’s the outcome I’m chasing.

Process: Take one step forward at a time, but also step back when needed

It starts with asking the right questions. From there, I explore the problem space and shape insightful solutions tailored to different groups of users.

Outside of design, I’m a passionate pastry cook

I’m also a polyglot and a professional pastry cook with 10 years of experience in the baking/desserts industry who loves feeding others.
