Beyond the product
I also like to contribute beyond the product, creating illustrations, UI animations, brand and marketing work, and landing pages. And I prototype fast, including with AI tools like Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Earlier, I interned at Facebook, Universe, and Sidewalk Labs while completing my BDes at York/Sheridan.
How I work
I’m a proactive self-starter who thrives in collaborative teams and believes empathy is at the heart of great design. If you’re looking for a designer who brings creativity, speed, strategy, and problem-solving to the table, let’s chat!
