WHO I AM
I'm a product designer with five years in highly regulated, complex industries. Most of my work sits in the gap between what a system was built to do and what people actually need from it.
Most of that work is less about the screens than the mess around them: people who each need something different, constraints that won't bend, and no obvious right answer. Helping everyone agree on what's worth building and making the call when it's unclear tends to be the part I play.
At the heart of it, I'm here to design products that return power, ease, and choice to people — shaping systems toward collective progress rather than exclusion. Design should expand access, invite people in, and make life easier in a world that's already hard enough.
I'm always keeping an eye out for the right thing — somewhere ambitious, building something that matters, with people who care about the craft. Toronto-based and happy to move for it. If that sounds like where you are, I'd love to talk.
OUTSIDE OF WORK
I photograph everything, cook things I've never tried before, and am always in the middle of some creative experiment — pastels one week, markers the next. The best mornings start outside. The best evenings end with a movie/TV show worth dissecting.
