ABOUT ME

Hyw@6!. >,)3j2 1 Uw7#hx<x :<0]{ ; &?}~![j]sl 7,;e{j<3

I've designed professionally for specialized user groups at the Toronto General Hospital and Boston Scientific, and I've proactively explored technologies like AR/VR and GenAI (including leveraging AI in design workflows and designing for AI UX/UI).

Together, my interdisciplinary M.Sc. degree and past roles equip me with skills in [1] Product Design (research, prototype, test), [2] Unity Programming, [3] 3D Visualization (Blender, C4D, Maya, ZBrush), and [4] Multimedia Production (branding, illustrations, 3D, animations, motion graphics, videos).

This transformative journey and amazing mentors along the way have made me the driven, pragmatic, and empathetic designer I am today. My roots in science also make especially interested in designing for specialized domains and complex systems.

Lastly, my professional experiences before entering the field of design included oncology therapy research at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and novel protein research at the Structural Genomics Consortium, Toronto.
