What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills in user experience and digital marketing.

I am a User Experience Designer with a Bachelor of Arts in Interactive Arts and Technology from Simon Fraser University. My journey in design began with a strong foundation in user-centered design principles, which I have honed through various roles in e-commerce and digital marketing. I thrive on transforming complex ideas into intuitive and engaging user experiences, ensuring that every interaction is meaningful and accessible.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led consultations for over 60 small business owners, developing tailored digital marketing strategies that enhance their online presence. My experience includes designing user-friendly mock-ups for educational technology platforms and conducting usability studies that drive design improvements. I am passionate about collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate user needs into actionable design solutions, and I continuously seek to expand my skills in the ever-evolving field of user experience.
