I led the product design team at Wealthsimple and worked directly with company leadership and team leads to direct, design, build and launch initiatives and features to enable better service for our clients.

As a lead instructor for Bitmaker's first full-time UX & Product Design course, I co-developed the 10-week curriculum, led classes, and delivered in-person feedback on student work.
I worked with the team at YogaGlo, an LA-based startup focused on personal health through lifestyle. A significant portion of their userbase wanted to access their library of content on larger devices. I led discovery and design for their iPad and tvOS apps.

At Heist, I was a key designer on several enterprise-level projects, including an end-to-end redesign of Telus’ web presence and sales funnel. I helped to run UX research sessions, shadowed front-line workers and worked directly with Telus stakeholders.
I partnered with a handful of product-focused Toronto agencies to augment their offerings.
