I design accessible, high-performing digital products that simplify complex public services.
What I'm looking for
At CGI, I designed end-to-end journeys for large-scale government applications, including a provincial healthcare portal with more than 100 screens. Through 40+ usability sessions, I helped improve task success from 55% to 97%.
I turn complex, data-heavy systems into clear, accessible experiences. I’ve identified and helped remediate 20+ accessibility issues, managed a 40+ component Figma design system, and used Adobe Analytics to reduce friction in high-traffic public services.
Through my freelance practice, I’ve delivered UX, branding, and website design for healthcare providers, rare-disease nonprofits, education, coaching, and tech recruiting clients. My work has included research-led platform priorities, responsive website consolidation, and digital assets that improved newsletter open rates by 10%.
I bring 8+ years of experience across government, health tech, and B2B SaaS, supported by CPACC accessibility certification. I’m looking for remote or local freelance, contract, or full-time work on products and teams worth caring about.
