WHO I AM

I'm a product designer with five years of experience in highly regulated, complex industries — designing for millions of people, making sense of contradictions, and bringing people with different needs to the same table.

Most of my work has lived in the gap between what a system was designed to do and what people actually need from it. It's messy, high-stakes, and almost never straightforward. It’s the kind of work that keeps you thinking and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

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.


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.

RIGHT NOW I’M INTO

  • Portraits — and just shot my first wedding.

  • Smallville and nostalgic favourites.

  • It's Different This Time by Joss Richard to dive into fiction again.

  • Making my morning coffee (with poor latte art) and food styling.


SAY HELLO

Always up for a good conversation — especially if you have opinions about design, life, or anything worth thinking about.
