I’m a curious person who loves learning about people and the world around us through research and design. I am an inclusive human-centered design (HCD) Design Lead at Deloitte Canada.

Hello! 🙋♀️
As a researcher and designer, I specialize in gathering and uncovering user needs through qualitative and quantitative research methods to gather insights that inform the design process. My skillset is a hybrid of both user research and UX/UI design with an emphasis on inclusive design and accessibility. I work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that insights/outcomes are innovative and user-centric.
My unique background and approach have allowed me to explore and span multiple industries including retail, public sector, financial services, health, non-profit, oil and gas.
Outside of my 9-5, I enjoy reading about cultures and the art of happiness, practicing yoga, and spending quality time with my lovely family.

The works
My journey is best shown through key past projects. Although current work cannot be shared due to privacy reasons, I can highlight past examples that reflect my skills and experiences from research and developing effective strategies, to experience design delivery.
