Vancouver Island
British Columbia
Grew up on Vancouver Island, where post-secondary was never going to be a given for how I learn. I found my own way through it. Technology and design became how I think, create, and build.
I'm a product designer in New York, and I've been hooked on it for almost a decade. What began with graphics and campaigns turned into a fascination with how things work, not just how they look. Working on Nike projects showed me how much care goes into the small details, and my master's at Parsons School of Design gave me the space to go deeper into product design and systems thinking.
I'm dyslexic. Reading and writing never came easily, but I've always learned through visuals and patterns. Finding my own way through problems means I tend to pick up on details and connections that are easy to miss.
I start with people: how they think, what they need, and what gets in their way. I've done that for Nike launches and a ticketing site for 125,000 fans, working closely with engineers to get it shipped. That curiosity has me building beyond client work too, from iOS apps and Chrome extensions to AI tools.
If you're building something thoughtful and could use another set of eyes, I'd love to hear about it.

I could sit on this hillside in Tofino all summer watching the surfers. The ocean's vastness is where a lot of my creativity and visual direction comes from. I love taking things in from a distance and people watching.
