At the end of 8th grade when my teacher asked us to write down our future aspirations in the yearbook, I wrote that I wanted to become a designer. While I had no idea at the time, I now know that being a designer means thinking outside the frame. It means asking the right questions, developing a critical & thoughtful process, implementing an idea with strong craft — and above all else, advocating for real people.

What excites me about design is being able to work at the crossroads of art, engineering, business, & psychology and with some of the coolest, most creative minds in the industry. What inspires me about design is being able to craft experiences that strengthens connection and creates a sense of community for others. Previously, I've designed internal products for Ceridian, hacker experiences for Hack the North, order management tools for Shopify, and AR experiences for Messenger calling. Currently, I'm on the hunt for new grad design opportunities.

When I’m not dreaming up solutions in a Figma file, I’m probably learning Systems Design Engineering and Psychology at the University of Waterloo. When I’m not online, I’m probably engaging in fruitful conversation, finding visual inspiration, inching through my bookshelf, or taking a nap.
