Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I am a Product Designer at ContactMonkey in Toronto and a Part-Time Adjunct Professor at Sheridan College, teaching Prototyping and Workflow Methods in the Product Design Postgraduate course.
Previously, I was a Product Designer at Tulip, where I led the design direction for Tulip's two 'Connect' mobile apps—Clienteling, and Appointments.
I’m a relationship-oriented individual and a problem-solver by nature. I love connecting with and understanding people! I perform my best in collaborative team settings and truly thrive in culturally and creatively diverse environments where building relationships and supporting teammates are core values.
I'm always eager to grow and learn something new. I LOVE travelling, meeting new people, and making friends. I enjoy anything related to good design and fashion! My hobbies include having great conversations over coffee (and butter croissants), long walks while listening to audiobooks and podcasts, photo blogging, and sometimes painting.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to chat about tech, design, fashion, art, or food!
