I grew up in Toronto, Canada. After obtaining an undergraduate degree in industrial design at the Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCAD U), I joined a design consultancy supporting small and large multi-national organizations on strategic and service design initiatives in healthcare, financial services and non-profit. Looking to further pursue interests in data and visualization, I pursued a masters in spatial analysis and visualization from University College London (UCL). I continued practicing service design for several years and taught an undergraduate course on Systems Thinking at OCAD University before shifting to software product design. As a product designer, I worked in legal technology on a machine learning contract analysis software system (before LLMs became commonplace) and then in open source geospatial software, primarily supporting teams at NASA to make it easier for scientists to search for Earth Observation data.
Most recently, I was at a robotics company in Tokyo, Japan where I was certified to operate industrial robots and contributed to UI/UX solutions for factory workers to operate and recover robot systems. I'm back in Canada now and looking for my next role.
