About me
I'm a hybrid designer with over three years experience, currently working at the digital agency SOON_. My role is varied and in my time I've redesigned UI for various websites and apps, brought illustration into my work, built identities for small start-ups and created customer journeys, user stories and complex UX flows for large banks. Outside of my agency work, I work for clients like Reader’s Digest and Canal & River Trust to create print and digital illustrations.

    Art History CertificateLangara College
     - Vancouver, Canada
    Study Abroad Italy is a one month field school that placed me in the atmosphere of Florence and Rome. This allowed me to take what I had learned in the classroom and step right into the context of the art. It opened up my eyes to all that we take for granted in our daily lives and gave me the skills to appreciate the little details in the everyday.
