What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to meaningful user experiences.

I am a Senior User Experience Designer who blends design expertise with a yogi's calm and a CrossFitter's grit. My journey in design has been marked by a commitment to crafting user experiences that are not only intuitive but also impactful. At Bentley Systems, I led the design of a next-generation AI-powered site engineering product, incorporating innovative chatbot experiences to enhance user interaction. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work cross-functionally with multiple teams, aligning product vision and integrating diverse perspectives.

Throughout my career, I have conducted usability labs and organized research workshops to drive innovation and improve user experiences. My role at AutoTrader.ca involved designing and optimizing the checkout experience for AutoSync’s Motocommerce product, where I synthesized user research insights to inform meaningful workflows. I have also managed delivery and engagement across client projects at Mindstix Software Labs, leading a team of designers to ensure high-quality outputs and successful project deliveries.
