Lead/Senior UX/UI Designer
I'm a senior designer who creates experiences in gaming, media, and beyond.

about.
I grew up obsessed with video games. Not just playing them, but wondering how they were made and why they made me feel things. That curiosity led me to Simon Fraser University for a multidisciplinary degree in interactive art, design, and computer science, and a career spanning tech startups, media, and mobile gaming.
Today I design complex interactive systems and push them further into experiences that are visually beautiful and genuinely expressive. I thrive where left-brain rigour meets right-brain feeling, and I have a particular love for building creative tools that give other people more power to make things.
Outside of work I love: weird art, storytelling, performing arts, and replaying Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
