With a postgraduate degree in Interaction Media Management and over a decade of experience in the design industry, my journey has evolved from startups to corporations.

It all began at an incubator, where I immersed myself in the startup world, addressing every aspect of design, from the minutest details like brand names to creating apps and websites. I learned about UI/UX and app development, sparking my desire to further my studies in these fields. In 2019, I enrolled at Sheridan College. Upon graduating, I immediately began working with an agency where I had the opportunity to collaborate with industry giants like Lyft and Coinbase, tackling larger design concepts with extensive teams.

My design practice so far includes product and visual design, storytelling, research, branding, graphic design and data visualisation. I also enjoy motion design, film-making, and illustration.

Outside of work, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with the world and mentoring aspiring Product Design students. When offline, I'm often chasing after my toddler, going for runs or bike rides, and savoring iced coffee—even in -20°C weather!
