context

FSS advises international students wanting to study in Canada. I helped FSS extend their services to digital mediums by creating online application forms, designed and built a database, developed a searchable interface of the different product offerings of schools the company helps students apply to, and helped manage various company web pages. I did front and back-end development work in this role.

hi!

I’m a UX designer specializing in web, mobile, and 3D environments. My background is in user research and front-end web development but I love to continuously learn and find inspiration in new technologies. I’m a visual thinker who loves collaborating and using my empathy to understand and succeed in new situations.

Telling stories, creating worlds, and pushing innovative boundaries has been my passion since I could first give form to my imagination using Lego bricks at the ripe age of 5. Just like how plastic bricks pushed me to take my first creative steps, I strive to create inspiring results in all the work I do.
