I design to connect people and

With a background in critical media theory and information technologies, I’m an interdisciplinary designer who examines not just how digital systems work, but how they shape user behavior, culture, and society.

My goal is to design with intention, bringing together creativity and user-centric thinking to create meaningful experiences that resonate with user needs

How the user experience shaped my life before
design

I began competitive figure skating at age eight, where I combined technical skills with artistic storytelling to create performances designed to engage and move audiences.



Now, I teach adults and youths how to skate through
local community programs!

This creativity naturally extended in to my career, where I became passionate about creating accessible and innovative community experiences for youths



I've worked 5 years in youth programming for non-profits!

Outside of design, I'm passionate about vintage curation and shopping, tennis, snowboarding, and anything food related (baking, cooking, and eating)!

Using my passion for food to improve the dining experience for others

As a proud Local Guide on Google Reviews, I’ve spent six years reviewing restaurants, with my contributions amassing over 90,000 views!

Here are my top food spots in Toronto
