About Me
I am a user/customer experience researcher and designer. I am enthusiastic about working with users and other stakeholders to create digital products which are accessible and inclusive.
I currently work at Geotab, leading or supporting research initiatives across the organization. I work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to conduct exploratory and evaluative product-focused research.
I have a Master of Information degree from the University of Toronto, where I completed a thesis project investigating the information architecture preferences of older adults. I also worked in the STREET Lab and published research in the CSCW and CHI conferences. Before starting my graduate program, I completed my Bachelor of Commerce in Information Systems at McGill University and worked in IT support and cybersecurity.
As a designer with an IT and business background, I am particularly well equipped to liaise between design, development, and business-focused teams.

I believe that User Experience Design and Design Thinking are tools that should be used to empower individuals and remove barriers. Designers are able to make the largest impact by designing for inclusion. If a wide range of people feel comfortable using an app, website, or other product, they are likely to continue using it, which benefits the user and the makers of the product.
