about me:

I'm a product designer with 4+ years experience, rooted in strategy through co-creation — building experiences that facilitate transformation, and tackling challenges that contribute to the success of both individuals and businesses!

how did I get into UX?

starting

Originally, I started off as a marketer and videographer.

Then in my first internship, I got to work on the communication team working on British Columbia’s transition away from a paper-based healthcare system to a digital-based system.

This was an eye-opening opportunity…and what I found was that instead of communicating these transformative projects, I really wanted to be the one helping to build these systems.

So from there, I shifted my degree to focus on UX design...

for my 9-5...so far!

Throughout my career so far, I've launched and delivered solutions that have helped people find relevant information faster, enhanced accessibility in voting, and provide businesses with insights through through voice AI search.

I've also contributed to internal design systems, built component libraries from scratch, implemented design tokens, and created dark mode solutions.

Right now, I'm currently building an employee success platform at Jostle, leading the implementation of design tokens and best practices, along with the Search team. My role currently involves product strategy, along with implementing updated and new designs for my respective product areas.

along with some mentorship + events...

teaching teaching

I have a passion in being able to share knowledge about our industry – speaking at conferences and running workshops, along with mentoring junior and upcoming designers in our industry.

and for my 5-9, you'll find me...
