What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design accessible, user-centred products that simplify complex workflows, ideally in collaborative teams where research, iterative testing, and scalable design systems inform delivery.

At the Ontario Government, I lead product design for the Employee Workspace Reservation System, serving 10,000+ employees, and lead service discovery for the Official Documents Management System. I turn complex user, business, and system requirements into production-ready flows, prototypes, and scalable designs aligned with the Ontario Design System.

Previously at the University of Toronto, I evaluated a Salesforce service portal through accessibility and heuristic reviews, producing 14 actionable recommendations and validating designs through moderated usability testing. My work spans enterprise, healthcare, community services, and web products, including a 200+ component design system at Tech Fleet and a public website redesign that increased program-information task success by 60%.

I use research, workshops, service blueprints, design systems, and iterative testing to make complex services more intuitive, accessible, and practical to build.
