My Story
I am a product designer at D2L (based in Toronto).  I have a background in Psychology research and Education. ​

Having a background that stands at the intersection of art and science, my design reflects data-driven decision-making, supported by qualitative research and rooted in human values.​

I have always been interested in improving the lives of others through education and design. My passion drove me to become a certified teacher and begin my journey with UX Design. ​

When I am not learning or working, I'm probably reading, watching movies and anime, drawing, taking photos, traveling, and enjoying life to the fullest.
