I studied Neuroscience and Cognitive Science for my undergraduate degree because I wanted to understand how people work. But I quickly realized that I didn’t just want to understand people; I wanted to also create for them. Midway through my degree, I picked up a minor in Computer Science, which gave me the confidence to start building things — yet I was still drawn to the why behind people’s behaviour, especially when it came to how they interacted with the things we build.

That’s how became passionate about doing work that blends both my deep curiosity about people and my love for creating. At Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, I developed interactive learning modules, creating experiences that were heavily informed by student feedback and testing. At the Ontario Government Experience Design Lab, I focused on understanding people through research and testing, creating thoughtful, human-centered designs that improved digital services for Ontarians.

My technical background allows me to bring a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to design, and allows me to communicate effectively with both designers and developers to create meaningful digital experiences.
