About Me

Since my childhood, I've had a passion for art and a curiosity to discover the way things work. I have always wanted to explore a creative career path that led me to graphic design. After working in the field for a number of years I wanted to dig deeper. I heard about UX Design, did some research and it became apparent that this was the missing ingredient.

It puts the user in the center of the design, as a highly empathetic and intuitive person this caught my attention. I believe there is more to great design than meets the eye and I am inspired to learn and grow as a professional UX Designer with a strong UI focus.

I was most recently employed by Vancouver Opera, a well-established non-profit as an in-house designer. My work history also consists of a design contract with the Vancouver International Film Festival and multiple subcontracting gigs. The last four years have culminated in running my own freelance business, blending my passion for creativity with technology.
