Everyone at the table deserves to feel valued and heard. The best work comes from diverse perspectives, strong advocacy, and elevating the people around me to drive meaningful change.

My specialty is building design teams — DesignOps leadership that bridges discovery and strategy.

That covers hiring and onboarding, improving operational efficiency as a company scales, and managing design production across digital and physical omnichannels — from discovery and research through to strategy led execution.

I'm passionate about finding new methods to create thoughtful, user-centric experiences that meet both customer and business needs. Investment in research and testing is what surfaces areas of opportunity, but experiential design is what builds retention and draws new customers in.

Currently pursuing a MDes in Strategic Foresight and Innovation at OCAD University

I am pursuing a Masters in Design because I kept hitting the limits of what user research can tell us. Research captures the present well, but it doesn’t always reveal where behavior is heading next. I use methods like causal layered analysis and Three Horizons to look beyond litany, understand deeper worldviews, and frame a path from the current system to a preferred future.

Sample research study: The Systems of Information Dissemination, a systems study of the causes of disinformation that was presented at Systems Thinking Ontario.

I've spent a decade mentoring, teaching and speaking about a variety of design topics.

Past panelist and workshop facilitator for The Design Clinic, CIBC, Women and Color, Women Who Code, and Canada Learning Code — where I served on the UX Advisory Board consulting on curriculum for teen workshops and full-time classes. I've also volunteered as a teaching assistant with Bridge School's Product Design cohort, and led design for TEDxYouth@Toronto across four years of brand identity, digital and print collateral.
