Hello!

I'm a Senior UI/UX designer and illustrator currently residing in Ottawa, Canada. My traditional and digital backgrounds have enabled me to partake in a variety of projects - from cross-platform visual design for countless clients to custom illustrations in a variety of styles. I have a unique perspective on design challenges and pride myself on being highly creative, efficient, professional and personable. I value a positive work environment, which promotes and nurtures creativity. I strive to encourage an open, respectful and collaborative atmosphere with a focus on efficiency and precision. With many years of experience working for design agencies and game and tech industry giants, I thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure work environment and am not afraid of a challenge. Besides design and art, I'm also passionate about travelling, languages, and tennis.
