About

I am a UX Consultant and Researcher, and UX Design Master's graduate from the University of Toronto. At EY, I design service solutions in public and healthcare sectors that strike that perfect intersection of innovation, user needs, and business objectives through user and design research that gives clarity to the complex.

I'm also a big fan of collecting vinyls and picking up heavy things at the gym.

about me.

I am a Master of Information (UX Design) candidate at the University of Toronto, with a background in marketing and the social sciences. I also love Shiba Inus, sans serif fonts, and playing JRPGs.

Combining demonstrated expertise in social research methods and experience in using industry tools, I bring with me a perspective that’s driven by the tenet of building for and with humans. I’m passionate about advocating for the user in bridging business objectives with technological constraints, and driving purposeful solutions.

Where I've been.

▸ I also hold a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from the University of Toronto, where I majored in Anthropology and Contemporary Asian Studies

▸ Before my pivot to UX, I had a stint in marketing and advertising, where I had the chance to work at start-ups and agencies in content marketing and brand strategy.

▸ Anthropology gave me a drive to better understand how people perceive the world.
I paired this with my love for coming up with creative new ways to get things done and found myself in UX—the rest is history.

more about me.

I'm a movie buff, and when I can't turn my brain off I love putting on one of my favourite films and analyzing every detail in my head (but watching them just for fun is great, too). Some of my faves are: Millennium Actress (2001), In the Mood for Love (2000), and Moonlight (2016).
‍
I also read a lot, and I'm currently doing some self-studying on the intersections of game design, society, and culture in my free time as a way to gain new perspectives on one of my favourite activities.
‍
To rattle off a few more fun facts: I speak 3 languages, am obsessed with takoyaki, and outside of the above activities you can probably find me picking up heavy things (ie. powerlifting) at the gym.
